21st Century Technology

In order for our students to keep with the ever changing technology and learning, we have to equip them. This is not an easy task. It is going to take a lot of time, money, resources and willing participants to make this happen! Plans have been put in place to help educators make this a success, but it is more than that; people must work hard to make them a reality! The thing that I love about this Long Range Plan is that it is ongoing. It is realistic and there is continuous follow-up and modification to make sure that it happens. As an educator who is “behind the times” of technology, it is refreshing to see that there is something in place to help with the accountability of educators, state and local government, and students to make sure that we do not fall short of equipping the children of our future to be successful in every way.

As far as this assisting me as an instructional leader who is guiding technology use and integration on the campus, I am happy that this plan is in place because in ensures that continued planning, follow-up, and resources will be available to me as an educator and future leader. Although there will be bumps along the way, I feel confident that our children will be more successful due to the planning and commitment of the people working on the plan and using the plan as well as the government working hand in hand with them to make future success a reality.
