Dear Faculty,
Our county has recently purchased SmartBoards for every classroom for our school. We are thankful for this opportunity to bring technology into the classroom for our teachers and students to use on a daily basis. SmartBoards will help our students develop the twenty-first century skills needed for the future. The technology will help our teachers prepare more engaging lessons for their classrooms. The technology will also help bring the real world to your classroom by providing global awareness for our students. Teachers will be able to use hands-on learning while providing visual effects for students while teaching a lesson. This technology will make teaching easier within the classroom and provide manyresources for classroom. The SmartBoards will also have document cameras which will help with overhead lessons, but teachers will be able to make these lessons more interactive for the students. SmartBoards will help meet all diverse learners’ needs within the classroom. We want all teachers within the school to embrace this opportunity given by our county. This opportunity will help improve instruction and give more meaning to our lessons which help us drive student achievement. Our school will provide professional development for teachers to help prepare their lessons. We want everyone to feel comfortable while using this technology in your classrooms. We will provide workshops and staff development for SmartBoards throughout the year to help teachers become more comfortable with the new technology. This measure will also help you build new skills needed for the twenty-first century school and the new teacher evaluation system. Our mission is to provide meaningful lessons through technology and real world experiences to help develop twenty-first century skills. I look forward to sharing this experience with you throughout the year.
