Technology is helping Round Rock ISD and its parents address the needs and learning styles of today’s student who is a “ new kind of learner, one that is self-directed, better equipped to capture information, more reliant on feedback from peers, more inclined to collaborate, and more oriented toward being their own ‘nodes of production.’ ” (Pew Research Center, http://pewresearch.org/)

RRISD classrooms throughout the district serve as evidence of support for this statement by Bob Wise, President of the Alliance for Excellent Education and former governor of West Virginia: “Effective technology combined with great teachers and engaged students have the potential to transform the world of learning. The time has come to ensure that every child has access to the engaging experience that comes with powerful teaching and rigorous content available through digital learning.”

“…if we accept that technology ubiquity for learners is both inevitable and fundamental to a young person’s Right to Learn in a digital world, then now is the time to confront the reality and raise the bar for all.”
(Bruce Dixon and Susan Einhorn, http://thebigsummit.wordpress.com/the-right-to-learn/ )

Educators in Round Rock ISD continue to “raise the bar” of technology’s impact on student learning.

Item #6 from 12 signs your tech leadership is obsolescent: Your technology program brags about the 5% of the teachers who use technology well instead of the 100% who use it well. Teachers who are early adopters and technology enthusiasts can be found in every district – even those with no technology leadership at all. It’s what’s happening in the other 95% of the district’s classrooms that defines technology leadership.
(Doug Johnson’s 12/19/2011 blog posting, http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/blue-skunk-blog/2011/12/19/12-signs-your-tech-leadership-is-obsolescent.html )

Examples such as the ones below demonstrate that technology use in RRISD goes well beyond early adopters and technology enthusiasts. The Instructional Technology Department strives hard to support equity, appropriateness, innovation, and quality of technology’s instructional use for all students and teachers.

Students rely on technology to gather research. Unlike previous generations who only had access to books and other hard printed media, today’s students have the whole world at the fingertips via the Internet. While this global access is wonderful to have, it presents new challenges for today’s students who have to learn to sift through this overload of information and find credible resources in a timely manner.

An interactive classroom is one in which the students become immersed in a learning experience that can hold student attention, enrich learning, maximize instructional time, encourage active participation, provide a means for instant feedback on student understanding of what is being taught, and facilitate ongoing two-way communication between student and teacher.
