Technology

The District Technology Plan states that technology in education should prepare students to be competent, responsible users in their academic studies and in their future career choices. They should also be able to capitalize on the opportunities that technology offers to broaden students’ educational experience and develop and nurture students’ information literacy. Technology allows students to be successful in a rapidly changing world, and provides students and teachers with the tools and skills needed to support learning in all subjects.

Currently, Kiddo! provides funding support for the district’s technology specialists that keep the technology running for the teachers and the students. In addition, Kiddo! provides support for technology hardware. Kiddo! has purchased 3 laptop mobile computer carts with 30 computer per cart for each elementary school, as well as 20 computers for the Middle School Library, along with multi-media carts for each pod in the Middle School. Kiddo! also provided funding for the first year’s lease of 150 teacher laptops in 2005.
