How can the appropriate use of information technology transform the learning environment in the 21st century?

In the late 1990s through the years of the dot com bubble technology was heralded as the savior. We believed that by purchasing hardware and software we could ensure the success of our government, businesses, and students. Since then we have all learned that technology is simply another tool, it has no value in and of itself. The worth of technology is derived from its' use to accomplish a task. In our case this task is improving student performance.

Educators at many levels are currently working to determine how technology can impact student performance. In addition to several national initiatives, PDE has recently launched its Classrooms for the Future campaign.

Here in the Mifflin County School District we are addressing this question during the development of our new Strategic Plan. The Technology Action Team, a group comprised of District administrators, teachers, and community members, is currently working to determine how we can best use technology to benefit all of our stakeholders. We will keep you informed of our progress in the "Strategic Planning" section of this site.

If you have any ideas you would like to share with us on how we can improve student performance through the use of technology, please let me know. My email address can be found on the "Information Systems Staff" page.
