Technology Integration Initiative

As a result of two grant awards and with the support of the AT&T Telecom Pioneers, MPB has been afforded the opportunity to develop an innovative approach to assist school districts with technology integration in the classroom.  In a collaborative effort with the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) Office of Student Achievement and Growth, school districts were selected and invited to participate in this unique opportunity.   Our Educational Technology staff serves as a dedicated team of consultants for the school district(s) selected for this innovative project and provide professional development training and support.  Programs and resources available through our Technology Integration Initiative include the following:
