Technology is powerful, and it has the potential to transform the classroom experience for students. This seems to be a self evident truth, but we must continue to advocate for student access to technology in order if we want to fully utilize it.

The better I can articulate how technology helps reach a concrete school goal, the more impact technology will have on the students. Above, I have identified these goals:

• Harnessing the possibility of the digital age through 21st century reading.

• Identifying assessment sites that can provide benchmarks, monitor growth, make meaning out of student data.

• Seeking high-impact curriculum sites that help explain content and teach skills to students.

• Mainstreaming creative digital platforms that make design for students easy

• Mastering creative digital platforms that make design for teachers possible.

• Providing structure and clarity through organization tools.

• Fostering student expression electronically to map student learning.

• Ingraining the use of effective studying tools into students’ studying habits.
