The Logan City School District Tech Use Plan aims to identify current technology use, future needs, and create a uniform district plan. A planning team consisting of teachers and administrators from each school will research other plans, assess technology needs, and develop a three-year vision. The plan goals are to provide ongoing professional development and funding to support teachers integrating technology into lessons to equip students with 21st century skills. Needs assessments, evaluations, and repeating the process will ensure the vision's success.
