The Pottsgrove School District is committed
to leveraging the technologies that support data-driven planning, teaching and
learning. It is our belief that the thoughtful integration of appropriate
technology, used in an ethical and efficient manner, is critical to the
advancement of the overall mission of the Pottsgrove School District to educate and inspire all
students to excel as productive, responsible citizens and life-long learners.
To live, learn and work successfully in an
increasingly complex and information-rich society, students must be able to use
technology productively. Within an effective educational setting, the investments we make in technology can
enable students to become capable information
seekers, analyzers, and evaluators; problem solvers and decision makers;
creative and effective users of productivity tools; communicators,
collaborators, publishers and producers; and informed, responsible and
contributing citizens.
Through grants and local resources, Pottsgrove
has made tremendous strides in recent years and provides a fiber wide area
network and a robust wired and wireless infrastructure supporting iMacs and
mobile labs comprised of MacBooks and iPads, as well as other hand held devices. Our goal is to be a model for the seamless integration of technologies that foster greater
precision in teaching and engagement in learning.
The techn
ology department at Pottsgrove supports
the district in a wide variety of areas in and out of the classroom including computer desktop, phone
and network support, internal and state reporting, internal and external communication, data-informed decision-making, professional
development, and initiatives in curriculum, assessment and special education.
