Technology Plan
Purpose of the Educational Technology Plan
The Santa Barbara School Districts have prepared this Educational Technology Plan to articulate a vision for technology, the goal of which is to support student learning. This includes students’ use of technology as a learning tool, teachers’ use of technology as a tool to optimize teaching effectiveness and maximize efficiency, and district administrative and support divisions’ use of technology as a tool to manage and increase the efficiency of operating a school district.
Technology, including hardware, software and the Internet, is a revolution that is changing the way life is lived in the 21st century. It is changing the way students and teachers gather information and the way they respond to that information. It is changing the work environment in which they are or will be a part. Access to technology, or lack of it, now impacts all endeavors.
It is imperative that all students and teachers be exposed to a wide range of technology tools and able to utilize those tools in their own learning and teaching. As with all learning tools, the curriculum determines which tools are best suited for each task.
The Educational Technology Plan is available in PDF format. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the report.
