Our Vision
Students will use technology seamlessly as a regular part of their educationEach student will come to class with their own computing deviceAll of the computing devices will be interconnectedTeachers and Students will have the skills necessary to use the Hardware and Software
![Page 8: Student Interactions at a Distance Ben Smith EdTechInnovators.com Red Lion Area School District October 25, 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e635503460f94b5f86e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our Reality
Labs within our rooms - 2-3 students per computer
Students do not have the skills to use the technology - We need to teach the skills first or in conjunction
Students may or may not have access to the internet and other software at home
About to become a CFF Classroom!
