Saddle Mountain Unified School District leaders discussed the district's "digital conversion" during an interactive session Thursday. Dr. Mark Joraanstad, superintendent, said Saddle Mountain recognized the fact that students today are being prepared for jobs in the 2050s and beyond - so they need exposure to technologies. But the district needed to look at technology equally with content and teacher- and student-needs."The devices are tools, but we need to embed it in a culture of caring," Dr. "J" said.
The district's digital offerings include Chromebooks for students and teachers, document cameras, projectors, traveling iPad carts at schools and Google Apps.
The conversion started with a vision, along with a team, a plan and good communication with families. Infrastructure evaluation was critical, as well, he said.
