In the 21st century, understanding and using technology will be an integral part of virtually every aspect of daily life. It is the school system's responsibility to prepare students for this future. The classroom is the primary place where this preparation will occur; therefore, every classroom must be equipped with diverse technologies to support teaching and learning. Every teacher must be knowledgeable and skilled in the use of these technologies in daily instruction. When integrated into instruction, technology will support new strategies for teaching and learning.
An education that is technologically rich produces middle school graduates with the tools, competencies and level of sophistication necessary to be in high school. It is a continuous goal to educate and enable all students and staff to understand and use current and emerging technologies in their personal and academic environments.
