Vision Statement

Our educational technology vision is based on a foundation of producing life-long learners. The primary vision is for students and teachers to become comfortable, efficient, and responsible consumers of the technology that is currently available. It is just as important, if not more so, that teachers and students become self-motivated learners able to adapt to the dynamic new technologies that are becoming increasingly accessible.

The New York State Standards dictate curriculum, as well as the technology literacy the students need to have upon leaving elementary school and upon high school commencement. Teachers are expected to address these standards in their classrooms for the obvious benefit of students, themselves, and the community as a whole.

It is the goal of this department to assist both teachers and students, as we all seek to become better prepared to participate in today’s dynamic, technologically literate society.
