Introduction

This plan is provided as a current guideline for the appropriate and effective use of technology for all South Kingstown schools.

The greatest challenge that we face today is effectively applying our technological resources toward improved teaching and learning. Students and teachers need access to reliable, up to date technology tools and training to make the best use of those resources.

Mission

South Kingstown is charged with preparing its students to become responsible individuals who possess the knowledge and skills for full productive citizenship. This is done through effective, efficient, and meaningful

Instruction. We live in a digital society. This age and the culture in which we live are increasingly being supported and changed by a wide variety of technologies. Technology itself is a rapidly developing and changing phenomenon.

We are preparing our students for a workplace and a home that is technologically oriented, which will demand workers and parents who can use higher order thinking skills. Jobs, and life in general, will require people who can solve problems, understand complex terminology, communicate clearly, and make sense out of rapidly changing information. Life itself will demand higher levels of literacy in all areas.
