• We believe…
- Insightful, purposeful, and serendipitous use of technology can enhance the learning experience.
- Teachers and Staff should be freed from the ongoing maintenance of technology and be able to focus their efforts on the district’s mission, vision, and goals.
- Technology can streamline many processes and thus bring additional effectiveness to those things and divert time, effort, and energy to the classrooms and the students.
- Technology is NOT the center of our enterprise, but that it is a vital piece that supports that core.
- New technologies are not something to be afraid of, but also should not be out-of-hand embraced either.
• In regard to support role, we believe…
- The perceived size of a problem is directly correlated to the problem’s duration.
- Communication to the end-users is key to ensuring a productive outcome.
- Communication within our team helps our team to become greater than the sum of the individual parts.
• In regard to our role as connector/bridger, we believe…
- We are in multiple schools, crossing every domain of the district.
- This provides us a powerful opportunity to make connections within schools and across schools.
- We can observe and describe how things are done in other places, and then help to make the direct connections between those parties.
