In 2006 we spent a large portion of our budget on technology. In 2007 we are projecting again to spend a large portion of our budget on technology. So the question stands, why would an educational company be spending so much money on technology?
3M is a large company with sales of over $20 billion per year. They operate in over 60 countries and have products sold in nearly 200 countries. A large portion of 3M’s budget is spent on R&D and new technologies. From their website they say,
“What makes us so diverse is our ability to apply our technologies – often in
combination – to an endless array of customer needs.”
Swift Kick is in education with a very large ambition to develop an educational system for the 21st century. As much as possible we are connecting with others who already have the technologies we need. However, there are still gaps that need to be filled and new technologies to be developed.
We hope the technologies we are developing fill those gaps so we can support the endless array of demands of an educational system for the 21st century.
