“We must open the doors to opportunity. But we must also equip our

people to walk through those doors.”

…Lyndon B. Johnson

Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them

obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the

information, and present it professionally. The technology

should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom

tools.
