Appendix A
ASB Technology Vision
We envision a world at ASB where purposeful, integrated uses of technology tools inspire creativity and
innovation, support continuous inquiry, foster collaboration, enhance learning and achievement in all
academic areas, and enable students to develop critical thinking skills, apply information literacy, and
manage complexity. We envision a world at ASB where all members of the community understand and
model respectful, responsible, and ethical uses of technology in academic, social, and personal contexts.
Our vision supports meaningful learning for all students, outlines the educational goals for using
technology, and supports the mission of our school.
The following belief statements guide the realization of this vision:
Teachers are most effective when they facilitate collaborative student learning through a wide
variety of media-rich, interactive, and authentic learning experiences.
Students thrive when lifelong learning and collaboration in an increasingly digital world are
effectively modeled by teachers and administrators.
Parents play a major role in the education of their children as they work with teachers to
connect formal and informal uses of technology.
Stakeholders from every sector of a learning community are empowered to become leaders and
effect positive change.
A responsible learning community is dedicated to modeling and facilitating a clear
understanding of the social, ethical, and legal issues and responsibilities related to our evolving
digital culture.
