Use of Computers in Instruction
The board recognizes that
technological advances in all areas are necessary and that microcomputers are
and will continue to be a part of this advance.
As such, the board’s goal is to implement computer resources in each
school facility. Because of the many
types of application and the potential cost, the board establishes the
following policy to plan for and guide this growth both for instructional and
administrative uses.
Computers for instruction will be
used primarily for the following:
1.
computer-assisted instruction to improve
student performance.
2.
managing an instructional program in all areas such as a
classroom, library and resource room, involving maintenance of test scores,
grades, and other data used in evaluating instruction and student progress.
3.
teaching computer skills and/or concepts.
4.
simulations for general interest, enrichment, and
motivation.
5.
teaching job skills.
Any student or staff member using computers will be
instructed in the proper use and care of the hardware and software prior to its
use.
Databases will be restricted to
those normally generated within instructional areas.
The school principal, or
designee, will coordinate the use of computers in the classrooms within his building.
