*Q1 Converge Special Report: Digital Teaching and Professional Development*

Digital devices and new technologies are shifting the education environment
and changing the way students consume information. Teachers can continuously
deliver curriculum in new and innovative ways to make learning more
interactive and collaborative. Instructors have resources available to
tailor the educational process to complement a student’s individual needs.
Traditional instructional methods will no longer do; teachers must embrace
new ways of delivering content.

This Special Report explores the ways digital teachers can continually
transform their techniques to keep pace with rapidly changing technologies
and the changing needs of students. The second half of the report focuses on
the importance of professional development. Schools will not be successful
in implementing technology and digital content initiatives without ensuring
that ongoing training is available for teachers.

Digital teachers need modern technological tools and digital content to help
them enrich the educational experience for students. However, cash-strapped
schools and campuses are finding it difficult to find the funding for such
needs.

This Funding Report provides examples of schools and campuses that have
secured funding for technology and outlines some recent developments in the
funding environment. It discusses how educational institutions have started
on the path toward greater innovation and started moving toward a digital
teaching environment.
