Jordan Technology Plan 2002-2007
A Continuous Improvement of Technology Integration
RATIONAL
In today’s world, technology is core to a genuine learning community. Indeed, access to information and the ability to exchange data are perhaps the two most important keys to real lifelong learning. If technology is core to such an environment, then all students and staff must use electronic resources daily so that accessing, transmitting, and gaining information becomes a habit of mind, not an occasional computer lab experience, pastime or "fill in."
An educational environment that values continuous improvement for all, that empowers youth, that mirrors life outside of school, is an environment that motivates young people to learn and fosters the independence, self-confidence, and curiosity we hope for them all: an environment rich in seamless access to technology.
