Technology, when integrated appropriately and effectively, can create a transformative educational experience where students are engaged in dynamic classrooms, skilled in digital citizenship and practiced in the creation of digital products. Oconee County currently utilizes a wide variety of technology to enhance the instructional process.

As a department, Instructional Technology Specialists support the realization of the Oconee County Board of Education goals, specifically:

• Tools and resources are allocated effectively and are used to enhance leading, teaching, and learning.

• Effective strategies are used to communicate with the district’s diverse stakeholders including educators within the district, parents, and the community.

The Instructional Technology Specialist team offers ongoing training to increase the use and effectiveness of these instructional tools.
