Digital Learning & Libraries

All students become productive citizens and life-long learners by using technology to access, synthesize, evaluate, and communicate relevant information. To maximize the learning potential of all students, all Edmonds teachers use technology to teach to the standards using effective practices that integrate technology, assess student performance, adjust instruction, and communicate student progress.   

To meet this vision, we will:

• Ensure equitable access to technology tools for all students and all staff.
• Ensure all students have intentional instruction around basic technology skills and can use technology as a learning tool.
• Support students in learning to use technology to communicate, collaborate, and create in engaging, relevant, and rigorous classrooms.
• Support teachers in using effective practices to amplify curriculum and instruction with technology.
• Use technology to collect formative and summative assessment data that informs practice.
• Provide ongoing, job-embedded professional development for staff around effective practices for integrating technology into the instructional program.
• Systematically and formally adopt technology tools and resources that align with and enhance core content curriculum adoptions.

Required Tech Skills for Student Success

Edmonds School District uses the highly recognized ISTE Standards for Students. These standards are updated annually. "Today’s students must be prepared to thrive in an evolving technological landscape. The student section of the ISTE Standards is designed to empower student voice and ensure that learning is a student-driven process." (ISTE)
