Technology
Vision Statement:
The Menifee Union School District envisions students and personnel utilizing technology effectively to succeed in a complex and information-rich world. MUSD provides a student focused educational setting in which technology is a vehicle for integrating standards-based curriculum, problem solving, communication and collaboration. Our students will leave the District prepared to confront the challenges of their ever-changing world. This district plan is envisioned to guide the school/district for the next five years. As a result we anticipate that by June of 2008:
- Every student has access to a computer with online capability at school and to online resources at home;
- Students use technology tools to master California Content Standards in the core curriculum;
- School-based computers, software, and networking, function reliably with timely assistance from trained computer and network personnel as needed;
- Students use online resources wisely after receiving training in the Big 6 (information literacy) and similar programs.
Vision for Technology:
Schools are dynamic and ever-changing institutions. If our schools are to fully participate in the information age, we must plan for technology, and technology must become a vital part of every schools’ culture. We recognize that technology, like education itself, serves as a catalyst for change. Together they become a formidable force for changing society for the better. This plan is our roadmap for integrating technology into everyday classroom practice and into the organizational and management functions of the District. As we strive to educate world-class students, this plan will guide sites and the District in implementing technology activities appropriate to their individual needs, while remaining aligned with the District Technology Plan.
