Each summer a select group of teachers from the Little Rock School District participate in UALR’s Information Technology CyberTeacher Program. The four-week, 12 credit IT course prepares “teacher leaders” to instruct colleagues and students in technology. Each fall, these teachers return to the classroom equipped with the IT skills necessary to be a 21st century teacher.
