Teachers are more effective when they become role models and facilitators of learning. Students develop responsibility by participating in the process of planning, implementing and evaluating their own learning and use of their own time. It is necessary for students to learn about other cultures and to assume global responsibility so that they may become responsible citizens in a society that will become increasingly interdependent and interconnected. Individual learning styles vary. Therefore, instruction and learning experiences should be designed and presented in a variety of learning modalities.
Technology can enhance and assist in addressing individual learning styles.
Due to the constant upgrading of equipment, materials, and processes, it is important to review a technology plan annually. Although it is long-range in its framework, it must be reviewed often to consider new technological developments. The vision of a technology plan upholds its open and dynamic nature. A technology resource training center, utilizing the latest technology and materials, will be a showcase for the state and the nation. The goals established by the Long-Range Technology Planning Committee are committed to both the Instructional and Administrative uses of technology.
