Summary
The practice: Access - School leaders must ensure equitable access to current hardware, software, and connectivity that supports instructional goals.
- Curriculum reflects increased potential for technology integration
- Technology facilitates project-based learning
- Even youngest students can learn information literacy skills
Deer Park opened its doors with the goal of providing a high degree of access to technology for all of its students and staff. The school is a "Total Technology School," as designated by Fairfax County Public Schools, and supports at least four computers with local network and Internet connections in every classroom. Classrooms also have large television monitors for presentation use and support a variety of media formats. A Windows NT fileserver allows teachers to access files and work from any computer terminal throughout the building.
This site also exemplifies the following practice(s):
- Planning - School leaders must play a central role in the cyclical development, assessment, implementation, and revision of school technology plans.
- Support - School leaders must ensure that a technical and pedagogical support system exists that facilitates the use and maintenance of technology in their schools.
