As with any tool, we must learn to use it before we can work with it. Our objective is to provide students in the Amador County Unified School District with the knowledge, tools, and learning experiences, which enable them to use technology in a variety of ways in all curricular areas. We hope that by implementing this plan, we will become a leader in the effective integration of educational technology. To achieve this objective, we must recognize three goals, each in equal importance to the others, for none of these would be meaningful without the other goals also being achieved. The first goal is connecting students, teachers and administrators through an efficient and managed Wide Area Network.
Effective technology enables quick access to information and communication.
Accordingly, the District will keep its computer networks functioning at the highest possible level. The second goal is to integrate technology into the learning experience for all of our students. Students must not only have equal access to the equipment, but also to innovative learning experiences. Ultimately, every classroom will be equipped with the technology tools that are necessary to bring the benefits of technology to all curriculum areas in the classroom. Not only must our students have access to the technology tools, they must possess the knowledge about how best to use them.
