11. Summary/Conclusion Lincoln is currently classified as Developing Tech in three out of four key areas. Administrators, leaders, and teachers must continue to collaborate and share ideas on how to further improve our campus classifications. We must generate ideas and strategies that will enhance classroom instruction and incorporate the use of technology. We must provide and attend professional development training geared towards technology implementation. Finally, we must work with our campus and district technology specialist to ensure that all teachers are comfortable enough with technology to use it in their classrooms.
