Vision
The vision of a technology plan for a school is to provide different opportunities to observe, learn, experience, and conference about different things/projects in the classroom and beyond. The purpose of technology in the classroom is to enhance students’ experiences in the classroom by providing opportunities to experience different cultures, ideas and thoughts based outside of their own city area. When a school becomes 1:1 with Chromebooks or any devices, there are several different things that need to happen to meet the needs of the students, teachers, and stakeholders. Technology allows the students to become facilitators of their own learning by participating in project based learning activities and receiving continuous feedback from teachers to continue to grow and improve,as students. Technology can make various things happen in the classroom which improves student performance and mastery of the standards in each subject. The experience of being able to connect to another culture via Skype and share information and collaborate on projects for students and teachers allow to experience conversations and learning in a safe and secure environment. Technology allows teachers to plan and collaborate with one another to share information and collaborate with one another to diversify the classroom for students in the inclusion classroom. Technology allows for students and teachers to be engaged in the classroom while providing a platform for potential jobs for the students. Technology is going to be a consistent force in our classroom therefore it should be embraced and used to the best to make the classroom more meaningful for students.
