Technology in Afterschool Programs SIG
Afterschool programs function in most high-need public schools across the US. Research shows that high-need students use technology in school settings more often than non-high-need students as they frequently don’t have access in their home environment. However, observations show that in many afterschool programs, technology activities consist of using computers primarily for homework and research. This situation offer opportunities for introducing more technology-enriched activities in afterschool programs. By bringing the technology resources of day school together with the need of the afterschool programs, a truly enriching environment could be created. This SIG will bring together educators who wish to develop effective means for integrating technology into afterschool programs.
