The Waterford Public School System is committed to the purposeful integration of technology throughout the curriculum. Our shared vision derives from a belief that technology integration is an essential component of curriculum development and instruction.
- Students at the elementary level will develop strong foundational technology skills, cross-application confidence, and a basic understanding of digital citizenship concepts. Through exposure to diverse experiences in technology, students will develop the attitudes and aptitudes necessary to be purposeful consumers and producers of technology and share their knowledge effectively through the use of technology tools.
- Middle School students will build on their elementary experiences. Through exposure to diverse digital learning experiences and purposeful technology integration, students at each grade level will develop proficiency and independence in the use of varied applications. Authentic learning experiences that encourage students to problem solve and develop the skills necessary to be responsible users of technology will be provided. Students will explore the use of technology to interact with a global community.
- High School students will apply the technology skills they have acquired to solve complex problems, innovate, create new content, and collaborate effectively. Students will be confident, ethical, and independent users of users of technology. They will be perseverant problem solvers, communicators, and team players, prepared to succeed in college, career and a global society.
