Message from the Superintendent This report represents the work of many people during the past two years. Throughout the 2003-2004 school year, one group worked on developing a vision for the future support of instruction by technology; another group assessed the current use of technology to support instruction. Towards the end of the school year, the two groups struggled to identify the philosophy and beliefs underlying the use of technology for instructional purposes. Research has been an integral part of the groups’ work. The challenge for the study groups was to build on the knowledge gained from the past experiences with technology, yet lay the groundwork for thinking of technology as an integrated tool of instruction. Confronting the issues of learning, teaching and assessment first before identifying equipment or software is essential for effective and efficient progress in education. Interim goals included revising the requisition, budgeting and reporting systems. As with any major process the work is always in progress. The hope and plan for this document is that it is used to direct planning and budgeting. This document establishes a new baseline and will position us well for state requirements for strategic planning beginning in 2006. As new assessment data becomes available the Technology Committee will be able to refine recommendations that will help achieve internal consistency and equity of opportunities for all East Penn students. Each person who is named in the report and many others who provided input has been very important in developing this report. The Board of Education had the vision ten years ago to support a major initiation of technology in the district and has shown the ongoing interest and support of the district’s efforts are appreciated.
