The iSchool Initiative's mission is to advocate, support and implement technological advancement for students and educators in the 21st century. In order to accomplish this, we have three primary objectives: raising awareness for the technological needs of the classroom, providing collaborative research on the use of technology in the classroom, and guiding schools in the implementation of this technology. We are a partnership between students, teachers, school administrators, and software application developers, providing a platform for each to comprehend the other's needs. We produce newsletters, blogs, videos and seminars to further spread the word, as well as conduct our own research and test new apps and other forms of technology to be used in the modern classroom. To enhance their learning, we also encourage students to become advocates for the greater use of technology in their education.
