Why Educational Technology?

Today educators face the demands of transitioning to the Common Core Standards and using technology in the classroom. Students today must be proficient users of technology for success in college, careers, and beyond. What does this mean for educators? It means that technology cannot be a frill or afterthought, it must be integrated thoughtfully across all grade levels and subject areas. To support the integration of technology into MDUSD classrooms, the Ed Tech team has developed this online professional learning site. It is our hope that this site will provide you with the support you need to transform your classroom into a 21st century learning environment.
