With more than 29,000 students and 1,400 faculty members, Orange Unified School District (California) was primed to dramatically increase the use of digital learning resources. "Students, having integrated tech- nology into their daily lives, were naturally included to want more digital learning in their academic lives," said Tam Nguyen, Technology Director at the district. "At the same time," Nguyen commented, "faculty saw the opportunity to engage students in new and meaningful ways."

JS: I believe that technology's role in education is to enable educators to rethink the way they teach students. More than just replacing pencil and paper, it serves as a vehicle to transform curriculum and engage every stu- dent on a personalized level.
