In my previous life, I worked at IBM as a Personal Computing Sales Representative. It was 1999 and the brink of Y2K. A student myself, I knew everything about personal computers (PCs) and I remember selling a majority to parents who needed to buy a laptop or computer for their kids entering University. At that time, using a computer in the classroom was a shift in the way students learned and completed their work. Since then, the need and use of technology in the classroom has only increased.<\/p>\n

I recently had an opportunity to meet with some very inspiring and hard-working students who are using their talents and knowledge to advance personally and professionally with the aid of technology as part of their tool box. From a group of students collaborating on an innovate sticker that provides children with medication directly through their skin (no needle involved) to a passionate performer who relies on technology to bring her creativity to life, these students are ready to help others do great things as they head back to school!<\/p>\n
