2 It s a new kind of math. $12 million schools + 60,000 students + 4,000 teachers and administrators = 1 better state With one $30 million gift from AT&T Oklahoma and the vision of former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson in 2001, the Oklahoma Educational Technology Trust was created and education was changed for the better. Managed by Communities Foundation of Oklahoma, OETT funds new technology equipment in classrooms and provides specialized professional development for teachers. Long gone are the days of big computer labs and overhead projectors. Students in OETT schools have learning in the palms of their hands...literally. Technology may be getting smaller but the opportunity to use it for learning is bigger than ever. Personal. Real. Fun. That s how to describe learning...if you re at an OETT school.
