Technology Plan - Island Trees Public Schools

Curriculum - Student Achievement
Island Trees School District is committed to the concept of life long learning and
excellence and success for all students. Technology has created new and unique
opportunities for teaching and learning. Technology has the ability to enhance the
operation of schools and offer more choices for students. We also recognize that
successful integration may lead to better attendance and less disciplinary situations in
classroom specific situations.
Goal # 1 – Work with the curriculum leader to identify K-12 learning standards and
required life skills.
Goal # 2 – Identify software applications and web based resources that may properly
align themselves with the required standards.
• Survey other district leaders though email, phone or meetings.
• Consider software that is exploratory, inquiry based, interactive and will draw the
student into learning.
Goal # 3 – Following professional development, encourage teachers to use these
resources for exploratory and/or repetitive learning.
Goal # 4 – Extend our learner based model a bit further and promote collaborative
project based learning.
• Integrate software with other peripherals (digital video, digital cameras, video
conferencing, imaging, probeware)
