At Ma’ayanot technology is not simply about acquiring expensive equipment. It is about utilizing technology in a meaningful way to enhance learning.
The technology itself is not transformative. It’s the school, the pedagogy, that is transformative.

The teachers at Ma’ayanot are enthusiastic to use and invent new methods of teaching using the latest technology.

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
