Technology Vision Statement
Acton Public Schools and Acton-Boxborough School District
By the conclusion of this Educational Technology Plan, the public school systems of Acton and Acton-Boxborough will have established a technology-infused curricula for all "students", regardless of age, in all subject matter areas, and across all disciplines. Technology will be an integral part of the infrastructure of teaching and learning.
The schools will use technology to enable all of its student stakeholders to think clearly, engage in creative production and participate in civil communication. These skills are essential in order to succeed personally and professionally in an information-based and global society, and necessary to prepare students for lifelong learning, changing employment requirements and full citizenship.
All students and staff will have reasonable access to technologies that reach from every instructional space and office in the schools to worldwide learning resources and all other learning sites. This access will be available anytime and from anywhere. Technology will be used in a learning culture that values safety and responsibility while promoting self-directed and comprehensive learning.
