Georgia superintendents attend White House ed-tech event

Three Georgia school superintendents were among those selected by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in a White House event last week to bring together educators who are "leading their schools and districts in the transition to digital learning."

The Georgia superintendents are Clayton County superintendent Luvenia Jackson, Hall County superintendent Will Schofield and Clarke County superintendent Philip Lanoue.

During the event, President Barack Obama highlighted the more than 1,200 educators who have pledged to support the use of technology in their schools by taking steps including giving students more access to digital devices and giving teachers and principals support in using technology.
