In the past decade, educators throughout the world have come to understand the important role computers will play in the lives of their students. This understanding has led many educators to pursue the educational goals of fostering computer literate students and teachers and integrating technology into academic curriculum. In pursuit of these goals, many schools' efforts have unfortunately been minimized due to funding constraints, staffing issues, and hardware and software obsolescence.

FUTUREKIDS specializes in helping schools overcome these obstacles. The first step in this process is assisting schools to define a three to five year technology plan that:

• Addresses professional development needs.
• Accounts for hardware and software obsolescence.
• Provides teachers with a curriculum designed to chart student progress and teach basic skills.
• Ensures that teachers receive ongoing support and mentoring.
