4. 4 Areas Of Concentration
Technology To Teach
Teaching Technology
Technology In The Field
Application Design And Usage
Each of the areas of concentration will give us a perspective to what limitations we may run into
from an infrastructure and data point of view. The schools success will be dependent on giving
our students and teachers a safe and reliable way of accessing data points from a multitude of
spots on their own personal devices. Technology will continue to change and evolve. While we
should not dictate change, we should be able to adapt and covet that change for our staff and
student body. By focusing our attention on infrastructure we will insure success for not only today,
but for tomorrows technology as well.

14. Technology will continue to change, by building a proper
infrastructure and data backbone you are able to
maintain and service any and all technology. Students will
continue to lead the way with what is hip, so being
device specific can lead to financial handcuffs. Focus
more on teaching methodology and not device specific.
