ConclusionConclusion

Based on the TPSD Technology Plan, the main focus is Professional Development and Hardware (upgrades). These areas are vital to ensure technology is seamlessly integrated into all classes. Also, the plan supports using technology to keep parents and stakeholders informed. Funding for Technical Support is supported locally. This is also a crucial component to the Tech Plan. As emerging technologies arise, this is a component that will need to be added to stay current with changes in technology.
