Vision for Technology

This week in our District Tech Meeting, I asked members of the team to share their vision for tech in the Mount Vernon School district. I asked them to share "Twitter Style' using 140 characters or less. I was excited to hear the great insite from the committee. We have a long way to go, but we do have hope and a vision. I took their responses and created a Wordle. This will be a great conversation starter at our next meeting as we look at how the words were weighted and determine what our focus and priorities should be.

• My vision is equal access to technology for all students and staff.
• Pervasive, extended access to knowledge and learning tools that enhance a person's life choices.
• My vision for tech is for all students to have access to computes. In addition, all students get to learn and use at least, basic applications: Microsoft, Internet, Photo, Adobe, etc.
• All students no matter age, grade or ability level have access and ability to use technology. All teachers have the same.
• Equal opportunity and access for all.
• Non duplicated one stop shopping connecting all students, parents and staff.
• Freedom, Fast, Friendly, Functional, Fun
• Tech used to collect, connect, create, collaborate, communicate and solve real world problems.
• Equitable access to transformational learning tools equals student engagement and success in school and life.
• Staff and students doing cool, new, global, rigorous, or unique things with technology. Possibilities are endless!
• Technology is a seamless aspect of teaching and learning, just like pen and paper are now. The world becomes our students limitless classroom.
• An ever expanding gateway to 24 hour engagement, discovery and learning.
• Technology considered an essential learning and teaching tool.
