SUMMARY

Technology is a part of daily life for all of us Students are in a digital world NCLB requires a report of our tech skills What are we doing to ensure that we are

meeting their needs? Are our lessons reaching them? How do we

know? Is there a tech tool that can help? Are we teaching them how to learn and get the

information they need? Are we teaching them to contribute to the

knowledge base? Are we teaching them to be safe and ethical?

THE TECH TEAM

Mission: Work to identify what tools are best for what impact and build resources and capacity for our staff to understand how to choose the best tools for the learners in their classroom. We will directly support the school plan.

We believe technology is a solution and a resource that we can use to positively impact student achievement.
