CCSD Educational Technology

The Department of Educational Technology is committed to improving the quality of education for students and teachers by providing technology opportunities and resources for all students, faculty, and staff.

SharpSchool Teacher Training

In the 2012-2013 school year, the district will be using a vendor called SharpSchool for school websites and school email accounts. The Office of Communications will be updating information on this transition on a Sharp School Information page on the CCSD intranet. Training for teachers has been scheduled and will occur throughout the summer at various locations around Charleston County.

Do You Edmodo?

We are excited to announce our district-wide deployment of Edmodo, a free and secure social networking platform for teachers, students, parents and school administrators.

Technology Modernization

Ed Tech has been working very closely with the Department of Information Technology on the District's Technology Modernization project in which schools are being equipped with the tools to engage 21st century learners. This project, which started from teacher outcry for technology equity across the district, has become a reality thanks to the capital funds that were approved and set aside for this project in 2008.  Capital Funds are separate from General Operating Funds (GOF) and may only be used for equipment and building modification. We would like to stress that the money paying for technology modernization can not legally be used to bridge the current budget gap in GOF.
