“The most important priority at Herndon High School is closing the achievement gap and helping all students achieve academic success. One of the greatest challenges we face today as educators is incorporating technology into our everyday instructional practices, in a manner that is meaningful and motivating to students. We live in the ‘instant’ information age where students have unlimited information at their fingertips. Students use technology to communicate, socialize and learn. As educators, if we do not have a deep understanding of technology and how to teach with it then we will experience challenges with reaching our young people.”

If technology is to realize its powerful potential for improving education in Lakewood School District, it must be used for more than just automating the traditional methods and practices of teaching. Rather than the computer being a tool, which allows a common task to be done more efficiently, technology will fundamentally change how instruction is delivered, how student performance is measured, and how teachers view themselves as professionals.
