Masconomet
Regional School District created a Technology Task Force in 2008-09 to build upon the 2006-08 District Technology Plan. The landscape
of technology integration in education has matured so extensively that State & National standards have been
updated to include Digital Citizenship & Ethics standards, Global Education Initiatives, and 21st Century Literacies to prepare today's learners
for a very different secondary education experience and workplace. The task force is crafting a plan that is based on these standards so the district
is poised to prepare students to be tomorrow's leaders. The information below provides the 2006-08 plan, the MA DOE Annual Technology Plans, and
State and National Standards information.
The Massachusetts Department of Education has challenged school districts with the following:
" The
primary goal of Massachusetts Education Reform and of the Massachusetts
Board of Education is to raise student academic achievement by creating
conditions that promote effective schools and accountability for
results. In keeping with this goal and those of the Enhancing Education
Through Technology Act of 2001 under the No Child Left Behind legislation,
Massachusetts provides leadership to schools in using appropriate
technology to improve student learning."
"The Massachusetts Department
of Education (Department) will use the following strategies to improve
student academic achievement and help students acquire technology literacy,
as well as to support teachers and administrators in integrating technology
into the curriculum."

Department of Education standards and guidelines, has made the following technology plan for the years
