Our Vision
Students will use technology seamlessly as a regular part of their educationEach student will come to class with their own computing deviceAll of the computing devices will be interconnectedTeachers and Students will have the skills necessary to use the Hardware and Software
Our Reality
Labs within our rooms - 2-3 students per computer
Students do not have the skills to use the technology - We need to teach the skills first or in conjunction
Students may or may not have access to the internet and other software at home
Pedagogical Foundations
Curriculum must drive the need for technology integration
Technology is simply the tool used to facilitate student-centered learningTechnology makes it easier to accomplish
