Wyoming's state education system must prepare students for their futures, not this generation's past. Technology has changed the very fabric of today's society. Education must analyze the changing fiber of society and weave the reality of the information age into the education system.
Technology is key to learners' achievement of world class standards.
First and foremost is the critical need for students to be able to access information, manipulate data, synthesize concepts and creatively express ideas to others using voice, video and data communications. Technology can virtually bring the world to the child, providing a depth of richness of instructional approaches to reach children of all learning modalities. Technology becomes the passport, the student becomes the traveler, and the world becomes an attainable adventure. This proposal is an extension of the focus, direction, and commitment begun under Goals 2000 initiatives. We have planned and set the stage for connectivity infrastructure in our K-12 school buildings.
