Instruction
Use of Technology in
Instruction
The Governing Board
encourages the instructional use of computers, videotapes, interactive videodisks,
distance learning, cable television and other technologies. The Board perceives that these technologies:
·
Give students
new ways to access information and practice skills
·
Help teachers
meet a wide range of learning styles
·
Enable teachers
to move from whole-class instruction to a mixture of small-group and
individualized instruction
·
Help students
develop reasoning and problem-solving abilities
·
Will be a part
of students' everyday lives
The Governing Board
recognizes that trained teachers are needed to make the best use of the
district's technology. Teachers and
instructional aides shall receive training in using the technologies available
to them. All district programs shall
have the opportunity to obtain computers, software and other equipment, as
funding permits.
The district's educational
software shall be carefully selected and evaluated so as to meet the teachers'
and students' needs and conform with district policy
and regulations.
