Evaluation Plan for Technology

16. Based on the TPSD Technology Plan, the main focus is
Professional Development and Hardware (upgrades).
These areas are vital to ensure technology is seamlessly
integrated into all classes. Also, the plan supports using
technology to keep parents and stakeholders informed.
Funding for Technical Support is supported locally. This is
also a crucial component to the Tech Plan. As emerging
technologies arise, this is a component that will need to be
added to stay current with changes in technology.
