TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION

The Technology Committee has met regularly since the 1993-94 school year, continually reviewing and revising the Board adopted Technology Plan. 

The District School Improvement Plan includes the following goals:

The school will work to ensure that greater proportions of incoming students are prepared to be successful and based upon information about incoming students, the school will provide an appropriate and challenging program to address each student’s needs in academic, employability skills and career awareness.

The schools will increase the extent to which students are prepared to be successful when they leave school as documented by credentialing individual students in the academic, employability and career awareness areas.

We will implement strategies to increase marketing Oscoda Area Schools.

In the 2003-2004 school year Oscoda Area Schools began a new Strategic Plan. The district has chosen to follow the North Central Association District Accreditation process. We have completed phase I, information gathering, of the process and three strategic intents have been identified:  Communication, Academic Success and Financial Stability.

The purpose of technology is to support the District’s vision and mission with the application of technology to the teaching and learning process.  Technology and preparing children for the future go hand in hand.  Based on the District’s needs assessments, the students need knowledge of how to use technology and work with technology to be prepared for their next transition into the world of school and/or work.  Learning with and about technology prepares learners to live responsibly in a democratic, technically driven society.
