The 21st Century Tech Support Project is part of a research study sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association for Educational Communications and Technology (PAECT) and conducted by a task force chaired by Dr. Shirley Campbell, associate professor and director of Instructional Design for Technologies Enhanced Learning at Seton Hill University and Dr. Celina Byers, assistant professor and coordinator for the ITS Program in the Department of Instructional Technology at Bloomsburg University. The research study will examine how technology is used in Pennsylvania schools, including hardware and software training and support and curriculum integration, and will result in a set of recommendations that the PAECT will present to Pennsylvania legislators.
