Instructional technology not only supports access to and training in our core District systems such as the Schoology LMS for parents, teachers, and students, but also guides and promotes the effective use of these tools in the classrooms.

 

The State Adopted Standards, the International Society for Technology in Education and SAMR are a few of the models that orients our work.

 

PUSD Instructional Technology’s work is rooted in focus area two of Paramount Unified’s strategic plan (High Quality Teaching and Learning), “Technology will be used as a tool to enhance and personalize instruction and improve learning.”
