Technology in Our District
Our learning environments must support college, career, and life readiness. The effective use of technology provides enhanced opportunities for students and staff to succeed in school and the workplace. Technology is seen as a potential equalizer for schools separated by miles of country roads.
Our Mission
The GPUSD Technology Department mission is to support the development of inquisitive, creative, and resourceful thinkers who are problem solvers and eager participants in a globally networked society.
Purpose
Our Driving Questions are:
- How can we best prepare our students to thrive as digital citizens?
- What are the specific skills that current students need to possess in order to be successful in the future?
Our Goals
GPUSD's goal is to be in the forefront of educational technology. We are committed to empowering, enabling and supporting our teachers in mastering today's technology. We are also dedicated to reviewing current research and recommendations for providing access to and the best use of information and communication technologies (ICT).
We engage in the following five important tasks:
- Support teachers and staff to seamlessly and effectively integrate ICT into the K-12 curriculum and other district business.
- Strengthen efforts to use student e-portfolios at all grade levels.
- Increase awareness and development of better digital citizenship behaviors.
- Update technology inventories
- Review and revise policies and procedures in support of effective 21st century learning.
Expected Outcomes:
- Students will demonstrate information literacy and digital fluency as defined by ITSE.
- Teachers, administrators and staff will leverage technology to enable our remote district to provide technology-rich curriculum.
- Technology will be used throughout the District by GPUSD staff to improve communication and promote effectiveness in all operations.
The GPUSD Technology Department will provide the required connectivity, hardware, software, and related instructional resources necessary for all students and staff to meet digital fluency performance goals.
