The students of today are constantly "plugged in". The use of iPhones, iPads, iPods, internet and any other digital gadget you can think of is prevalent. This is not only the present way of life for our students but the future. Education has, at times, taken a backseat in the technology realm. Studies show that students are the most "unplugged' in their lives while in the school setting. What are we going to do about the fact of something that is so important to the future of our students' lives is not being taught in our classrooms? Technology needs to be taught. Students need to know the "correct" and productive way to use the technology at their fingertips. Use technology as a tool not a toy.
Administrators at Southeast Polk meet throughout the school year to learn great ways to utilize technology for their teachers and students. Below is a picture of a group of administrators wading through the technology pool. Through visionary leadership Southeast Polk will try to stay on the course of technology in the educational setting!
