Alabama selects Learning.com for
Technology Education Adoption

Portland, OR – Feb. 17, 2010
The Alabama State Department of Education has approved for purchase two Learning.com online solutions designed to support students’ technology literacy. Named to its 2009-10 Technology Education Textbook Adoption are EasyTech, a technology literacy curriculum, and 21st Century Skills Assessment, which provides data on how well students grasp 21st century skills.

Learning.com developed a K-12 technology literacy and assessment solution, including current content about Internet safety and information literacy, specifically for Alabama. Using the new solution, districts may select technology literacy curriculum for Elementary, Middle School and High School levels. Additionally, Learning.com’s 21st Century Skills Assessment will enable districts to better understand students’ 21st century skills.

Kelly, Learning.com CEO. “We’re pleased to have the opportunity to continue to work beside teachers and administrators to provide high quality, engaging digital instructional materials to Alabama school districts.”

EasyTech, an award-winning, Web-delivered curriculum, makes it easy for teachers to integrate technology literacy into their math, science, language arts and social studies instruction.
