Teaching with technology

June 19, 2026 - 21:57

The board of education dedicated a portion of its June 9 meeting to a recent presentation on how technology is being used in schools. The discussion focused on the role digital tools play in the classroom and how they affect both teaching and learning.

Board members reviewed key points from the presentation, which covered topics such as student engagement, access to devices, and the balance between screen time and traditional instruction. Several members raised questions about how teachers are trained to use new software and hardware, and whether the current approach is consistent across all grade levels.

The conversation also touched on the need for reliable internet access at school and at home. Some board members expressed concern about students who lack connectivity outside of school hours, noting that this gap can affect homework completion and access to online resources.

No formal decisions were made during the meeting. The board indicated that the presentation would serve as a starting point for future discussions on technology policy. A follow-up session is expected later this summer, where the board may consider specific recommendations for updating the district's technology plan.
