Technology
The Academy for Business & Technology Elementary School is currently working under the guidelines established in its three-year Technology Plan. The technology plan is reviewed annually by a committee representing the school's administration and staff. The progress of the plan is measured against the standards and benchmarks set forth in the Michigan Curriculum Framework and the Michigan State Technology Plan (Educational Technology Standards and Expectations), as well as the provisions outlined in No Child Left Behind.
The major goals of the technology plan are to:
- Instill a strong technological confidence in students and staff
- Make reaching for a computer as natural as reaching for a pencil
- Enhance the educational process with software and the Internet
Goals for teachers and students are to:
- Provide experiences that build skills for future success
- Help everyone use computers, both individually and in teams
- Increase our school community's ability to use essential software: word processing, spreadsheet, database and the
World Wide Web
