3 How do connect with students in the 21 st century when we ask them to power down when they walk into school? How do we leverage current technology when on a limited budget? How can we best utilize resources to engage students in a way that enhances learning, engages students, and allows for the gradual release of responsibility for learning from teacher to student? Driving Questions

4 Students will meaningfully apply technology skills to collaborate, create, innovate, and communicate. Through collaborative professional development, staff members will be connected learners who initiate and participate in global learning opportunities and applications for students. Stakeholders will benefit from consistent and reliable access to technology that will be used to expand learning and communication. The district will continue to build collaborative relationships to transform teaching and learning experiences for students, staff, families, and the community. Tech Plan Goals
