| For
Teachers: Since its inception, Ocean of Know has worked in public
and private schools to bring multi-disciplinary, interactive
tools into the professional development programs we offer to
teachers to give them the tools they need to inspire their students
and design and implement standard based, hands-on lessons that
work to bring back to their classrooms. Our workshops leave
participants with a deep understanding of how technology has
transformed and enriched their role in the classroom, taking
them from transmitter of information to facilitator and mentor
in the process of discovery. Through these professional development
workshops, our goal is to train teachers to integrate the best

| Peer
Review is an integral part of the professional development process
at Ocean of Know. Our teachers have found it invaluable aid to
their professional growth. Principals find that teachers who learn
these skills become real leaders and mentors to their colleagues,
strengthening the collegial atmosphere among their faculty. |

| Students:
We work with k-12 students in a wide variety of settings and find
that the unique educational hybrid model we offer offers lasting
benefits to students at every skill level, at every level of English
language proficiency and without regard to their previous experience
with computers or other technology. The farm is an intrinsically
motivating, intrinsically reinforcing environment where students
learn and truly internalize the lessons they learn. The high level
of student involvement is the key to success |
