    We believe equitable and ready access to technology will assist:
      • Teachers to integrate technology in a meaningful way. (SAMR)

      • Teachers to be empowered to facilitate student-centered and differentiated instruction related to best practices in teaching and learning.

      • Teachers and students to use technology resources and tools to promote and enhance critical thinking, problem solving, perseverance, and persistence.

      • Students to be motivated to think and work creatively.

      • Students to be innovative in constructing knowledge and solutions to problems.  

      • Students to enhance their digital citizenship skills.

      • Students, Teachers, and Parents to communicate and collaborate.
