The FISD Technology Vision

It is our intention that this vision will be a dynamic and ever changing document that will be utilized as a resource for the proper integration of technology. Our goal is for this to be a tool for the teachers to allow them to extend and enhance our current curriculum.

We Believe. . .

  •  The FISD Technology Vision is dynamic, adapting to continual changes in technology and society.
  • Curriculum-driven technology is not isolated and should be seamlessly integrated.
  • High expectations and project-based assessment foster creativity and higher order thinking.
  • Site-based support and relevant staff development are essential.
  •   Technology is an instructional resource utilized to enhance learning for all students.
  • Technology provides an avenue for communication among students, parents, FISD staff, and the local and global communities.
