A 21st Century Technology Vision for the Buffalo Public Schools

 From the district's A Technology Plan for Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century (pdf)

21st century societies are increasingly dependent on information. Successful functioning in society demands the ability to problem solve using a variety of technological tools, the ability to communicate clearly, as well as the ability to interpret massive amounts of ever-changing information.
 
Two students on a green iMacIt is the Buffalo Public School district’s purpose as reflected in the Buffalo Comprehensive District Education Plan, to graduate students with the ability to live and work successfully in the twenty-first century.
 
It is the district’s belief that the use of technology, as a tool, will improve teaching and learning. The use of technology in the classroom fosters a natural integration of curriculum, thus empowering students to take command of their learning. Technology accommodates a wide range of learning styles and levels the learning field for students. It fosters collaboration, cooperation, and is highly motivational for many learners.
