Through technology, teachers will be able to improve individual instruction including enrichment and remediation. Teacher benefits will be assessed by considering teacher utilization of technology. As teachers increase their technological proficiency through staff development, increased opportunities for students will be enhanced to encourage a renaissance in education for students and teachers. The implementation of a computer network enables efficient communication between and among schools and departments. The use of technology results in less time spent tracking information transmitted between the various offices of the school systems.
Improved communication gives greater access to data on a more timely basis.
More services are provided to parents and the community through technology. Parents are given better data through increased use of technological equipment at the school level. Educational opportunities through technology will attract and retain students in the public school system. Graduates are educated so they can continue their education at the post-secondary level and become productive working members of the community, thus enhancing the community's ability to attract and retain business and industry. The Technology Committee has identified the major technological needs in both the instructional and administrative areas of the Logan County School System.
