Executive Summary

The three-year district technology plan serves as a representation of the district's vision as it relates to the alignment of educational technology and curriculum. It provides a map that can be followed by all areas of the school district to bring the district's vision of a 21st century learning environment to fruition. In addition, the technology plan outlines the goals and objectives that it was designed to facilitate, which includes the development of digital literacy skills, enhancements in instructional delivery, increased access to information, and the alignment of curriculum and technology with national standards and best practices.

This plan begins with the district's educational technology vision statement. This statement provides the foundation for the beliefs and values that are embraced and employed by the Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District to deliver a 21st century learning environment that fosters collaboration, creativity, and increased student achievement.

Vision Statement

In today's globalized society, digital literacy is an increasingly important skill for individuals to develop and refine. Our challenge is to prepare all students to become responsible digital citizens with the skills necessary to compete in this new world. Our goal is to deliver a learning environment in which students will utilize technology to foster collaboration, synthesize new ideas, and inspire creativity. It is our belief that implementing a progressive and ambitious technology plan that incorporates the very latest trends in educational technology will facilitate student driven learning that is interactive and relevant to the real life experiences of today's "digital natives". Through this environment, we encourage and empower our students to be self-directed lifelong learners that possess the ability to use critical thinking skills and technology to solve problems, collaborate, synthesize information, and effectively communicate in order to be successful and competitive in today's world, as well as tomorrow's.
