We believe that…All learners, including educators, should be

able to use technology effectively as a fundamental tool for learning through research, communication, and expression.

Authentic uses of technology must be seamlessly blended within disciplines to enhance student ability to meet or exceed state standards.


We believe that…Skillful use of technology supports the

development of process skills such as flexibility, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration, which are essential to success in our rapidly changing information age.

It is imperative for all students to have access to information via technology as a basis for lifelong learning.
