This technology plan aims to advance the school's digital connections by increasing access to technology, improving technology integration, and involving the entire community. It proposes becoming a 1:1 district to ensure all students and staff have daily device access. Teachers will receive training on technologies like Google Classroom and opportunities to revise curriculum incorporating technology. The goals are to use technology to individualize instruction, foster student engagement and responsibility, and cultivate global collaboration. Reaching these goals will require securing funding, phased device distribution, ongoing professional development, and input from administrators, teachers, parents, and students.

Editor's Notes
- #9: Because such emphasis is placed on subject areas such as language arts and mathematics, foreign languages, the arts, etc. receive less attention, time, and funding
- #13: Talk about the resources that they could use to do this
- #15: A primary goal of technology is to teach students to be responsible citizens. Through the use of devices, students learn courtesy by learning how to positively interact with others on the internet and report cyber bullying. Further, students learn to appropriately cite sources and provide credit where it is due. As a result of using technology, students become more aware of the importance of privacy and safety. Through education, they learn that it is important to be mindful of what you post. Finally, students learn good judgment skills from evaluating sources and making wise decisions on what to share online.
- #16: In order to best serve our students, it is important that we transition to a 1:1 district so that every student has equal access to technology. It is not acceptable to only have enough laptops to serve 28% of our student population. In implementing additional technology, we must allow time for staff to learn how to use each application and device so that they can effectively and intentionally integrate technology in the classroom. Our goal is to use technology in creative and innovative ways. To do so, we must work together with all stakeholders in the district to ensure we have universal support for our vision of educational technology implementation.
