Signaling its ongoing commitment to inspiring the next generation of innovators, Intel, along with five other companies, sponsored the TechAmerica 21st Century Learning Symposium in Springfield, Illinois on Feb. 24. Educators and government officials participated in the program that focused on how technology can transform the learning environment in Illinois schools. Robert Shults, a member of the K12 Intel education team, identified student centric eLearning as a key to developing 21st century skills such as critical thinking and math.
