Technology Cornerstones and Goals

To accomplish the mission, several goals have been identified within four technology cornerstones. Below is the draft text:

Teaching and Learning Security / Infrastructure Professional Development Administrative / Support Services

Goals Goals Goals Goals

Graduating students will have the necessary technology skills to be successful in the world of work and/or higher education.

Provide all schools with access to common core technology to improve student learning and academic achievement.

Use technology to support communication, collaboration, and effective sharing of resources.

Provide differentiated technology-based learning options to meet individual needs of students; explore alternative delivery of distance learning options for students; provide students with anytime/anywhere access to electronic content to support classroom instruction.

The infrastructure (all systems) will be secure, stable, reliable, inventoried, and well-maintained, including the employment of appropriate back-up systems.

Technological resources will be utilized in a manner designed to maintain the highest level of security possible for confidential information.

Technology training will be provided to all personnel in an effective, systematic, and on-going manner.

Stakeholders in the educational community will have ready access to appropriate educational information to enable effective collaboration.

Technology will be acquired and deployed in a cost-effective and efficient manner that demonstrates the sharing of best practices. Among the issues that will be addressed will be: Total Cost of Ownership, long and short term needs (including a plan for repair and replacement of technology), and the availability and efficient use of resources used for technology.

LBUSD will establish and maintain a clearinghouse for collecting and disseminating technology information and resources.

Data will be collected and entered once into informational databases.

Technology resources and staff development will support and facilitate decision making processes.
