Technology Planning

Technology Plan:  To ensure that students receive the kind of education which prepares them to live and work in the 21^st Century, H-F developed a Technology Plan.  This plan helps infuse technology into the instructional strategies which individual teachers are using across the curriculum, giving students hands-on experiences with technology and helping them to become technologically proficient.  The Technology Plan is a dynamic document which guides the school in its technology acquisitions and adjusts to the changing needs of the school. The plan also supports the needs of software needs of staff within and outside of the classroom. We have also added a parent support component.

Technology Committee:  In 1992 the Board of Education directed that a Technology Committee be formed to draw up the plan and update the plan each year.  By 1996 they expanded the committee, and members of the Technology Committee come from every curricular department of the school along with representatives from clerical, the Board of Education, and the Administration.  The committee holds monthly meetings throughout the year to discuss technology and its integration into the school.  In December of each year the committee meets for a half-day session to discuss department visions and wish lists for the next few years.  In February the committee meets for another half-day session to set up the technology budget for the next school year, prioritizing items requested by the various departments.  At the end of each school year the committee evaluates the progress made during that school year and adds an additional year onto the plan. In addition a Community Panel reviews the work of the Technology Committee and makes suggestions for the future.
