The Renaissance Institute

Expertise in Educational Technology

Trusted Advisors in Educational Technology

The Renaissance in teaching and learning.
Modern technology is causing a Renaissance in teaching and learning. We help manage the change. The Renaissance Institute was founded to advance the appropriate use of technology in education.  

 

What makes us different? 
Institute Advisors are practicing educators and technologists currently serving in K12 or industry.  Clients of the Institute are K12 school districts, universities, and other learning organizations that benefit from experienced, platform-neutral advice on educational technology.  The result is stability, accountability, and continuity.

According to The Children’s Partnership, over 50 million Americans are unable to access or use the technology and services they need to be successful-- and many Americans are excluded from the $8 trillion dollar global Internet economy and its benefits. For those in isolated areas, with low income, limited literacy skills, or disabilities, a persistent “access gap” leaves the promise of the Web unfulfilled.   Click here to donate new or used technology or to alert us to a student in need of technology.
