<div></div>
<div><p align="justify"><font size="2">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. </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2">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.</font></p>
