Our Vision Information Technology at the Addison Central Supervisory Union will assist staff and students in restructuring the way they teach and learn. Personal computers will touch the life and learning of every student who attends our schools, and will play a major role in preparing them for the twenty-first century. Teachers, students, parents, and the community will be part of this transformation and will all benefit from the technology at the Addison Central Supervisory Union . We believe that technology is to be used as a tool for teaching and learning. Computers extend, rather than replace learning activities demonstrated and envisioned by teachers.
Computers can expand the power of learners to create, examine, compare, analyze, and communicate.
Computers and related information technologies can help to discern how information is collected, stored, and utilized to solve problems and create new understandings. Technology alone cannot provide the means of truly restructuring the way in which we teach and learn. Given our collective desire to bring about systemic innovation, technology can act as the catalyst to facilitate that change. The goals and mission of this technology plan have been developed in support of the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities. We believe the use of Information Technology Tools should be to improve student learning across all areas of the curriculum.
