Our technology implementation plan provides the vehicle to revolutionize the way we teach and the way students learn. Skillful use of technology supports the development of process skills such as flexibility, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration which are essential to success in our rapidly changing information age. The student and faculty at Campton Elementary School are able to access information, manipulate data, synthesize concepts and creatively express ideas using video, text, and audio media. Information technology provides a depth richness of instructional approaches to reach student of all learning modalities. It allows educators to better serve the diverse learning styles of our students and educate them through a spectrum of multiple intelligences. The integration of technology across the curriculum provides access to otherwise unattainable information and better prepares our students for a life of learning.

Our curriculum is ambitious. Successful implementation of our information technology vision requires a tremendous commitment and, because we truly believe in maintaining a high quality educational program, we provide an ongoing monthly program of inservice training. Therefore, each student, teacher, staff member, and administrator much regular access to the technologies that enables him/her to keep up-to-date with technology.

It is our school vision that all members of our community will access, manipulate, integrate and communicate information within, and beyond, the school setting. Electronic links (school-wide networks, community bulletin boards, and global networks) should be easily accessible and easy to use in order to facilitate communication between and among such groups as: students, teachers, administrators, parents, universities, public libraries, states and federal agencies, businesses, and community groups. Information technology and curriculum are intrinsically linked and ever changing. This plan is not meant to be static, rather it is designed as a working plan, and our goals will necessarily change as technology changes, curriculum evolves, and as we move into a technology based society.

Our Campton Community Technology Program's goal is to generate and strengthen parent and community involvement, allowing the school community to move from isolated classrooms and families to one connected, active, collaborative learning community. Parents and community members participate in several workshops to learn how technology can be a vital part of their lives. Additionally, parents can check the Internet for their student's homework at HomeworkNow Our greatest educational success will come when information technology becomes an integral part of all areas our curriculum and an everyday aspect of the students' learning process.
