In Croton-Harmon, we believe that learning is rooted in human connections and interactions that are grounded in human relationships and engagement. Technology should never be a substitute for meaningful instruction but should enable and/or enhance authentic experiences that could not be created otherwise. Technology should be used to actively and intentionally deepen learning to expand what is possible in our classrooms. Technology is a powerful tool for removing barriers, enhancing learning, providing scaffolds, increasing student choice and voice, opening multiple pathways for demonstrating understanding, and ensuring that every student can thrive. Technology & Innovation Vision Statement Technology Goals: (as created by the CHUFSD Technology Committee 25-26 and revised by CHUFSD faculty) Critical and Discerned Use: Teach students to be critical, discerning, and ethical users of technology. Innovation and Creativity: Empower our learning community to harness the transformative power of technology to bring ideas to life in innovative ways not possible through traditional, analog methods. Purposeful Integration: Ensure that technology use is purposeful, research-based, and tied to clear learning goals. Equitable Access and Opportunity: Recognize how technology creates opportunities, and ensure all students can engage, access, and demonstrate their learning in meaningful ways.
