FISD Technology Department Mission Statement: By providing leadership, infrastructure, support, and staff development, the Frisco ISD Technology Department will empower students, educators, and the community to utilize current and emerging technologies as tools for life-long learning.
A Technology Plan was created to keep all stakeholders informed of the goals and realistic strategies for implementing the vision of the department.
We believe that curriculum driven technology should be seamlessly integrated and not isolated in learning. Technology should be used as an instructional resource used to enhance learning for all students. Project-based assessments should be utilized to foster the creativity and problem solving skills necessary for 21st century learning.
Appropriate and relevant staff developments are key to educating our teaching staff in these new skills. The department is committed to provide training for minimum competency expectations as well as more advanced staff developments. Working together with the FISD Curriculum department, we will facilitate the database entry of K-12 curriculum lessons into Forethought, the online curriculum database and lesson planner.
Technology should also be used to enhance the communication between students, parents, school leadership and the local and global community. The plan must be continually evaluated and modified to meet changing goals and utilize emerging technologies.
