At Birney technology is supported by a shared vision of all stakeholders. Parents, teachers, and administrators agree that we are to prepare students for life in a technological society. El Rancho School District supports technology by offering many inservice classes to district employees to help them to familiarize themselves with various aspects of computer technology and individuals programs that lend themselves to use in and for classroom instruction. The Technology Committee will post all such inservice dates and call attention to the opportunities available to the Birney staff through such instruction. Technology will be supported by the placement of computers in all classrooms and a well maintained computer lab connected to the Internet.
Classes can visit the lab at specific times during the year.
If the network goes down those in charge of the maintenance and instruction in the computer lab will inform the proper service providers so that the lab visitations can be resumed as quickly as possible. If this fails, members of the Technology Committee will become available to assist in any technical difficulties that arise.
