Summary


 * Mission **** : ** Fort Worth Country Day School's mission for technology is to promote among our students the qualities of critical thinking, effective communication, collaboration, and independent scholarship, and to facilitate within the entire FWCDS community, the broad use of authentic educational technologies.


 * Context: ** Technology adds to the overall experiences of the FWCDS community by promoting life-long learning and supporting intellectual curiosity. We believe that careful implementation of technology is important to insure its usefulness, and we strive to ensure that our students are taught to use technology in ways that are consistent with our Core Values and our Philosophy. We believe that technology resources should be directed towards areas that enhance student learning, enhance teachers’ professional growth and enable communication.


 * Goal: ** Our goal is that educators, parents, students and other members of our community support and understand our initiatives in the use of technology. Continual review, as well as updating and evaluating the Technology Plan, will help to achieve this goal.
