Innovative learning, as part of the company's Citizen Verizon plan, helps keep students engaged and prepares them for the future. Story from Verizon
James Allrich, principal at Argyle Magnet Middle School in Silver Spring, Maryland, has always had a reputation for being the go-to tech guy.
The Verizon Innovative Learning program has been bridging the digital divide since 2012, providing access to technology as part of the company’splan. This framework for economic, environmental and social advancement focuses on digital inclusion, climate protection and human prosperity. As a Verizon Innovative Learning coach, Llano-Scherker works closely with the school’s associate director of professional learning for ongoing training.
“Once the technology was pervasive, teachers were able to teach and engage students differently,” Allrich said. “Having a kid say, ‘I’m not interested in writing a paper, but I’m interested in putting together a video game that gets at this particular point’ — that’s really pushed our students and teachers to grow.”
