Welcome to the Office of Instructional and Information Technology. This
office is dedicated to fostering the “seamless” integration
of technology in all aspects of the district’s learning community.
Working with students, teachers, principals and parents, we focus on infusing
technology in ways that enhance the teaching and learning process, improve
communication and data management. In and out of our schools, we encourage
teachers and students to use computer-aided instructional strategies and
the Internet to foster literacy and learning across the curriculum. The
hallmark of our technology work is one of team work and integration. Our
instructional technology specialists collaborate with content area specialists
and classroom teachers to infuse technology in English Language Art/Humanities,
Mathematics, the Arts, Science and Special Education.
