Vision: Enhance and enrich instruction and application of knowledge with use of mobile apps and internet resources. Redefine ways student receive and apply knowledge by providing technology resources. The focus will be on using apps that are CREATION based, i.e., presentation, video, collaboration whiteboard rather than CONTENT based apps that provide a game style practice of knowledge.
Goal: All students will meet or exceed CCSS grade level expectations.
Measure: We will know this was successful based on summative and formative assessments. We will also compare sample of work created with use of technology modalities vs. samples of student's work from year prior when the use of this technology was not available.
