The document discusses challenges and signs of hope around students' and staff's usage and understanding of technology. It notes that while many teachers are hesitant about technology, students are adept at using phones for video and texting but sometimes in inappropriate ways. The school has filtering software for websites but it limits educational access. Leadership operates from a position of fear around technology at times. However, there are signs of hope as some classrooms are engaging with technology through gaming, online programs, and collaborative tools. The document calls for replicating these positive examples.
