Overview of District
Technology Goals
TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION:
- Faculty will use appropriate instructional strategies when
implementing technology in the classroom.
- Documentation will be maintained by the faculty/staff member who
is given technology for use during the year. Documentation will include educational use
and all hardware & software updates & maintenance procedures. Any modifications to
a system must be approved by a campus technology coordinator.
- Faculty/staff members will be required to maintain ethical and
copyright standards in accordance with federal and state laws. No software will be loaded
on a machine that has not been approved by a campus technology coordinator. Computer
maintenance policies will be followed. See Maintenance Policies.
No video will be played in a classroom for pure entertainment value. Employees will
not jeopardize the district for law suites with the entertainment industry. All movies,
videos, and presentations will be shown using instructional strategies, questioning
techniques, "what if" scenarios, or for some simulation purpose as stated in the
lesson plan.
- All technology will be utilized for educational purposes (i.e.
games or videos without educational objectives are not permitted at anytime and may result
in the loss of privileges to technology.) If there will not be an independent or
alternative assessment over software content, it is probably not appropriate for the
educational environment.
- Faculty will be responsible for making sure that classroom
substitute teachers are advised that computers & videos will not be utilized by
students unless specific written instructions have been left by the classroom teacher on
proper/educational use of technology for a specific class period.
- Failure to document use or failure to use technology for ethical
and educational purposes will result in the reassignment or relocation of technology
(microscopes, calculators, computers, video equipment, etc.) and a reprimand in the
personnel folder.
