| Maine School Administrative District 75 Technology Vision |  Back to Technology Initiatives. |
I
The
technology plan for Maine School Administrative District #75 (hereafter
referred to as the District) describes our vision of how technology will assist
us in achieving our mission.
This
plan provides a lens for guiding technology purchases as they relate to
curriculum content, instructional practices, professional development
strategies and enhanced services. Areas where technology will impact our
District and our mission include:
á improving student performance through effective
technology integration in the classroom,
á understanding the role of technology in our
studentsÕ futures in order to prepare them to be successful in a changing world
á using technology to collaborate and learn
together as a community of learners
The
plan identifies the current status of technology and defines a technology
system that will support the learning and administrative systems of the district. The plan prompts us to challenge our
present understanding of the ever-evolving role of technology and question how
we organize ourselves to ensure improvement, increase our effectiveness, and
evaluate our efforts. The plan is focused on preparing our students for the
future.
District
Mission: ÒThe four communities of MSAD No. 75 are united in our dedication to
develop confident, life-long learners. It is our mission to work together to
ensure a community of fluent learners, critical thinkers and creative
contributors to our society.Ó
Technology
Vision: The role of technology in education, in society, in work and the
world has changed significantly in the past few years. These changes merit
exploration as we envision how technology should be used in our district. As a
learning organization we will foster a collaborative culture that pools the
experiences and expertise of our staff, students and communities striving to
transform the work to be done through the use of such technologies as social
computing, visualization and simulations, educational gaming, and digital
storytelling.
We will
use the methods of social computing, visualization and simulations, educational
gaming and digital storytelling to improve student learning and prepare them
for their future.
Through
collaborative cultures we will pool our staff expertise and grow in knowledge
and skill as a learning organization.
We view
technology as part of almost every function in our enterprise.
We will
encourage our students and our community to provide their experiences with
technology for transforming the work to be done and how to do it.
We
recognize that the devices will continue to shrink and their functions will
continue to expand.
We will
ask ourselves what new knowledge, skills and dispositions will be necessary to
be successful in the future?
