Technology Vision Statement

Our vision for the role of technology within the Newport-Mesa USD embraces the following statements.

• The appropriate use of technology is a powerful tool for improving instruction and student learning.
• The acquisition of technology and information literacy skills is embedded within the normal course of instruction of the content standards.
• All students have equal access to technology.
• Technology is an integral part of student records, assessment and data analysis.
• Technology promotes improved communication among teachers, parents, students, administrators and the community.

Students, teachers and administrators use technology to access current and relevant information. Students use technology to assist them in meeting state and district curriculum standards. Teachers use technology in the delivery of curriculum, assessing student progress made toward meeting standards, record keeping, for communications with the community and for meeting the needs of diverse learners. Administrators use technology for school management (including record keeping), for communications with the community, and for the analysis of student data to assure that there is student progress towards meeting state and district standards. Teachers and administrators also use technology as tools for furthering their knowledge and abilities.
