Technology for Teaching & Learning
Digital tools work best when they support great teaching.
Our team partners with educators to keep classroom technology dependable, accessible and connected to clear learning goals. Digital tools complement great instruction, hands-on activity, conversation and time away from screens.
Tools that support strong instruction and access
Technology supports teaching when it helps students learn, participate and show what they know. Teachers use professional judgment to select tools that fit lesson goals and student needs.
Purposeful classroom tools
District-supported technology can provide interactive instruction, access to digital textbooks and aligned learning resources, opportunities to research and create, collaboration, and timely checks for understanding. Student Chromebooks support these activities during the school day as part of CCPS’s 1:1 in-school program.
Access for every learner
Digital tools can offer captions, text-to-speech, language supports and other ways to engage with content. Assistive technology may be included through a student’s IEP or Section 504 plan. CCPS’s technology plan calls for accessible digital experiences aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
Technology is one part of learning
A device is useful when it advances a clear purpose. It can sit alongside books, teacher modeling, discussion, movement, hands-on practice and peer relationships. Teachers decide when technology adds value and when another approach better serves the lesson.
Building skills for life
Students learn to evaluate information, create digital work, collaborate, protect privacy, respect copyright and communicate responsibly. These skills help prepare students to participate thoughtfully in school, work and community life.
