 Welcome to the District 34 Technology Committee Wiki

There are 4 areas to cover:
 * 1) Professional Development
 * 2) Curriculum & Instruction
 * 3) Tech Infrastructure
 * 4) Community Involvement

Questions to reflect on as you review and provide feedback to the following plan:
 * What are the key student outcomes we as a district are trying to influence through our investment in technology?
 * How can technology investments improve a teacher’s ability to effectively reach more students?
 * How are the elements of the Tech Plan intended to help advance one or more critical D34 initiatives -- e.g., how is the Tech Plan related to PLC initiatives?
 * “Success Indicators” has a nice ring, but what are the measures?

The technology vision for Glenview School District 34:

//We will remain at the forefront of technology integration and the development of technological literacy across our learning community in order to meet the needs of a constantly evolving world.

In collaboration with parents and the community, the Glenview Public Schools are committed to providing progressive and productive technologies for educators and for students as we prepare them to become lifelong learners and responsible decision makers in a changing society. We value technology as a tool for its ability to facilitate communication and enhance the learning of all students within and beyond the classroom walls.//

We believe as a district we are past the conceptual conversations about technology integration, and instead need to focus our discussions on instructional best practices with the knowledge that technology is a required component.
