"By harnessing technology, we can expand access to learning
and close the achievement gap in America."
Former U.S. Secretary
of Education
Rod Paige
We are now living in the most technologically advanced society in our history. With the emergence of wireless technology, distance learning, and broad-band access, we are challenged to keep up with an ever evolving industry that has an influence on how we learn, work, and play.
How do we keep up with information that doubles every eighteen months to two and a half years? How do we educate student's that have diverse learning styles and learn more in a single year than many of their family members learned in a life-time? How do you prepare a workforce for twenty-first century jobs?
As educators, workforce development providers, career coaches, social workers, and trainers we attempt to answer these questions daily, and we attempt to utilize technology by deploying computer labs and utilizing web-based applications. What we discover is that it is hard to keep up with the technology, we lack the training and profession development to effectively integrate the use of technology, and we rely on technology sales representatives to explain how the technology can be integrated into your organization.
Braxton Consulting has a resolution to the issues that organizations face when attempting to effectively integrate technology. We take on the role of an interpreter that can bridge the communications gap between the technology representative/sales person and the teacher, career coach, job developer and trainer. We make sure the you are equipped by providing the training, professional development, applications, and consulting services that allow your organization to maximize your effectiveness and meet your outcomes. |
