Technology Vision Statement: Develop a technology vision statement appropriate for your school or educational program ( kindergarten school ) that clearly states and defends the role of technology in teaching and learning. Part research paper (from your own research and discovery) and part personal vision, the content therein should be a synthesis of what we have covered in the class applied to your vision of technology use in education, and how it should be used to effectively improve instruction and student learning. Begin with an introduction to provide background and to set the scene of your school, classroom, and program (this may include demographics, current technologies available, etc). Develop a succinct and clear mission statement (ideally, this is a summarized paragraph that can easily be displayed on a website or brochure). Use the remainder of the paper to defend the statement using content from the course and findings from your own personal research (you will need to reference some primary sources). Your writing should be directed to the school or community (i.e. “Students at __ school will use technology to __”). Be sure to cite your sources with APA documentation (1,500-2,000 words, excluding references in APA format).
