OIP Technology Goal 3

RCE teachers seek to embed technology in their instruction in order to deliver the curriculum in a highly effective and motivational way that is consistent with students developing a deeper understanding of content while they are acquiring 21st century communication skills, critical thinking skills, information and media literacies and technology skills.

The Rock Creek Elementary School staff will use technology in a manner consistent with the National Technology Standards.
