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. By October 2010 the first phase of the project will be complete and each classroom in Charleston County will have a 680i series SMART board and projector. Teachers and students are finding this technology to be nothing short of revolutionary.

"SMART Boards have allowed me to bring an interactive experience to lessons that I never thought possible. Smart Boards provide various ways to differentiate on a day to day basis and the technology continues to evolve with a focus on helping children."

-Craig Bennett, 4th Grade, Stiles Point Elementary

" The SMART Board has been extremely beneficial to my teaching. It has helped me to organize better lessons, and it has increased my students' motivation to learn."

-Summer Pettigrew, 5th Grade, Memmenger Elementary

"Having a SMART Board in my classroom has enabled me to provide my students an opportunity to learn about literature and writing in a more engaging way."

-Allison Mackey, 8th Grade ELA, West Ashley Middle
