The
integration and use of technology in the Lynden School District will
help develop fully educated, adaptable and inventive life-long learners
by stressing resourcefulness, teamwork, and problem solving.
New technologies used in hands-on procedures will:
• enable students to gain more control over their learning;
• enable the gathering of information from distant places;
• provide the opportunities to develop greater understanding of distant regions and peoples;
• allow for a wide range of student learning styles.
Technological
advancements are essential to the K-12 learning and teaching
experience. All staff will effectively integrate and utilize technology
in the learning process. Our community shares in the technology
resources of the school district. School district administrative
responsibilities utilize technology as a essential part of communication
and productivity.
Shared Vision/Guiding Principles:
Every
student in the Lynden School District will have the skills and
knowledge needed to be successful in the ever-changing, information
driven world of the 21st Century. Technology enhancements are integrated
into the K-12 learning experience to promote and enhance relevancy and
application of the curriculum provided to further enable students to
become contributing, responsible members of a competitive world society.
The
Technology Advisory Committee of the Lynden School District recognizes
the importance of adopting and fully utilizing new educationally
significant technologies. These technologies will serve as important
tools that will help our students maximize their
academic
potential. Through the use of modern technologies, students will enhance
their positive approaches to the challenges, changes, and adjustments
inevitable in the technological age of the 21st Century.
