Technology Trainings are designed to provide educators with the technology skills necessary to begin the process of integrating technology into the curriculum to meet the needs of the 'net' generation of students.
Technology will be used throughout our schools as we acquire new and exciting ways to meet the needs of all of our students and to enhance student outcomes. We will strive to use the most up-to-date technology tools in order to:
- design learning environments that will reach out to a diverse learning community,
- gauge and monitor our students' individual levels of achievement, using that information to make important decisions about our programs and our support for student learning,
- model and encourage collaboration between and among us all: teachers, students, parents, administrators and the global community.
In our classrooms, teachers will be confident and knowledgeable about the range of technology tools that can assist them in making effective choices in designing learning experiences. Supported by accessible technology and professional development, teachers will develop and share authentic and engaging learning activities that require students to hone problem-solving skills.
All students, administrators and teachers will be accountable for basic technology skills while continuing to develop their technological literacy.
