Part D: Enhancing Education through Technology (Ed Tech)
The Enhancing Education through Technology State Program – also known as Ed Tech – awards grants to states and is authorized by Title II, Part D of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (also known as ESEA).

- Narrow and close the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the end of eighth grade; and
- Promote effective integration of technology, teacher training and curriculum development.
