2011-2012 Technology
Fund Update
The Technology Fund was
established to raise funds for technology advancement needs
throughout the district. As of Fall
2010, there are now sixty-four (64) SMART Boards in our schools.
In 2011-2012
our efforts include:
-
STEM Initiatives (Science, Technology,
Engineering & Math) including Project Lead the Way
(PLTW)
-
SMART Boards and
Interactive Classroom Packages
-
Computers and software to support curricular enrichment
With a proposed reductions in
the budget for the 2012-2013 school year, the school
district will be relying on the Technology Fund more than ever
to help maintain the excellence that is synonymous with MTSD.

Teacher SMART Board Testimonials.
"The
SMART Board technology granted to us by the MTEF has been more
beneficial to me than anything I have used in my 20 years of teaching at
Homestead High School. It allows me to create lessons that are large,
understandable, and interactive on a daily basis. This technology also
gives me the ability to incorporate different forms of multi-media into
my lessons without plugging in CDs or videos. I can give my students
visuals I would never have dreamed of presenting even a year ago and has
them asking to participate consistently in every class. I am a far more
effective teacher today than I was on September 1st because of SMART
Boards. Thanks ever so much for the support."
Ernie Millard,
HHS Teacher
"When I use the SMART
Board interactive whiteboard in my classroom, the students
become active participants in their learning, literally. It
allows the students to physically interact with lessons which
help them to gain a personal understanding of the material.
Abstract concepts come alive as they are able to be demonstrated
and manipulated using the SMART Board."
