Phase 1. Pre-Planning
In today's information-driven society, students must develop information management skills that can be carried with them for the rest of their lives. Educators must be willing and open to explore new ways in which technology can be utilized to enhance instruction in addition to considering and experimenting with alternative instructional delivery models. Teachers will use technology to help students acquire new skills and to more fully develop skills already learned. Technology will help to address the differences in learning styles among students, better meet the individual needs of students, and provide instructional activities that are multi-sensory and engage students in active learning. Using technology to increase communications and collaboration, teachers, parents, business and community leaders, and post secondary institutions will work together to provide increased opportunities and learning experiences. The school will become the center for learning for the entire community and provide an opportunity for lifelong learning for students of all ages. When administered to its full potential, technology will be the tool to unite the community into one incredible learning environment. By using technology in this way it will allow for the enhancement of learning in the traditional K-12 curriculum, and simultaneously educate students of all ages for the 'real world.' The schools and the community will mutually benefit from the shared use of technology. In order to fulfill this vision, the school must develop and maintain a technology plan that allows for the introduction of new technology that benefits learning. The plan will provide for maintenance and upgrade of technology equipment, facilities, and educational opportunities balanced with fiscal responsibility. Marion Local Schools will provide programs and opportunities for our students and staff to enable them to successfully integrate technology into their educational, professional, and personal lives. We believe the use of technology should be a part of the student's educational process and that its use will stimulate critical thinking, enhance imaginative problem-solving, encourage creativity, strengthen communication skills, and provide opportunities for collaboration to the end that students will have the ability to address the challenges of everyday life.

Strategy: 1:1 Mobile Systems

Outcome:
Electronic student and staff surveys will be created and distributed. All spreadsheet costs (original and ongoing) will be gathered and analyzed for total cost of ownership. Comparisons will be made to determine if benefits are greater than costs. The total cost of ownership will be compared to student/staff surveys related to increased school-to-home communication, student participation and motivation, and a greater variety of instructional strategies. Through the use of spreadsheet costs and student and staff surveys, the district will weigh the benefits to the costs of a 1:1 program.
