- 2. Is It In The Air or Water?Actually it’s everywhere! What’s everywhere?Technology and its use among students have placed a demand on education to fully integrate it into instruction.For this reason, Texas, as well as the nation, have created plans to see that our teaching becomes digitized to meet the needs of our “digital natives” as we prepare them for success beyond the classroom.As a school that is being held accountable for this, we have made increasing strides toward meeting those goals. However, as with anything good, we still have some room to grow.
