The integration of technology tools and software applications to plan for and deliver measurably
effective instruction depends on integrated technology infrastructure. It is essential that teachers

meaningful, impactful, and efficient instruction in the modern classroom.

The Integrated Technology Infrastructure and Technology Tools include:

● Consolidated access to key instructional and non-instructional applications and services via
an employee portal, district, and school websites.

with an internet connection. Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft Office 365, and
Creative Cloud Express (Adobe) currently fill this need.

● Video conferencing services and applications for online collaboration such as Google Meet
and Google Workspace for Education applications.

online instructional space where teachers may provide students the ability to upload
completed assignments, receive feedback, and communicate with teachers and/or peers.

recognizes the district is doing exemplary work using Google tools, joining a select group of
innovative districts and independent schools.
