Technology Integration
Within the Plattsburgh City School District, technology provides access to tools that transform learning and offer meaningful collaboration experiences. It allows access to knowledge beyond our school buildings and empowers students to solve real-world problems. It also sparks innovation and provides tools to be innovative.
We use the Triple E Framework to evaluate technology use within classrooms, focusing on how it engages, enhances, and extends learning. For example, teachers in every classroom use ViewSonic panels to create interactive and engaging lessons. Additionally, vetted educational technology software is employed to support diverse learning needs and provide quick feedback.
Technology skills acquired will be valuable in higher education and the modern workforce. We value the balance of student experiences with and without technology. When using technology, educators will be able to meet the needs of all students with more individualized learning experiences, highly engaging lessons, and quick feedback.
A primary focus of Technology Integration in PCSD is the ongoing support and development of administration, instructional staff, instructional support staff, and students. The district has one Technology Integration Specialist who uses the district coaching model to assist teachers in integrating technology into the curriculum. They are designing technology support and training that is adaptable and innovative.
