Instructional Technology
Instructional Technology
Students at Lockhart ISD use technology everyday. Students use computers, chromebooks and/or iPads in the classrooms to work on reading, math, language arts, science, social students, and special projects. LISD teachers follow the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Technology to guide the curriculum. Many elementary teachers participate in the Lockhart Visionary Instruction Plan (VIP) which is an initiative aimed at establishing an innovative instructional vision for the next generation classroom in LISD.
Students are trained every semester on the proper use of the Internet. All grade levels use the Internet for instructional activities. Students are not allowed to surf (search) the Internet. All sites are previewed by teachers or the technology instructional mentors before students can visit the site. Students are only allowed to explore preset links. The LISD Elementary Internet Resources site is maintained by LISD Elementary Technology Instructional Mentors.
Goals of instructional technology at LISD:
enhance teaching and learning
individualize learning for students by using flexible learning paths and blended learning in centers
