Technology Objectives Overview
The supporting technology framework for the year has been split into grade level objectives. Each Information Media Specialist is responsible for covering these standards in their own way based on the technology equipment and software available in their home building. The primary goal of reaching the technology standards is to meet the needs of the students using the resources available in each separate school. The objectives chosen were adapted from the South Dakota Educational Technology Standards.
