WE HAVE TO WORK WITH OUR PLCS TO MAKE OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS FULL OF TECHNOLOGY!

WE NEED TO ALIGN GOALS, CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES, FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS, AND TECHNOLOGY!

LEARN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE AND LEARN IN A DIGITAL WORLD AND APPLY THOSE TECHNIQUES IN OUR LEARNINGENVIRONMENTS SO OUR MATAGORDA STUDENTS ARE PREPARED FOR THE NEW LOOK OF EDUCATION.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW?

CONCLUSION: IT’S FOR OUR STUDENTS!

We started, now let’s continue! This was two sixth grade students last year helping prepare for field day using technology on our Matagorda Beach!
