Howell Township School District is recognized as one of the Top 10 Digitally Advanced school districts in the nation by the Center for Digital Education and the National School Boards Association. Our commitment to integrating technology into education aims to enhance student achievement and bridge achievement gaps.

 

 

In our rapidly evolving world, students must learn in contexts that are relevant and real-world, fostering collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. These abilities are essential for thriving in a global society driven by modern technologies.

 

 

Our Technology Task Force, consisting of community members, teachers, administrators, support staff, students, and Board of Education members, was established to create a 21st-century learning environment. This environment develops responsible, self-directed learners prepared to compete in a global economy that demands innovation.

 

The task force identified essential knowledge and skills, researched successful 1:1 technology environments, and explored various technologies. Their recommendations have shaped our vision for a comprehensive digital conversion.

 

 

To support a dynamic 21st-century learning environment, our students receive formal Computer instruction tailored to their developmental stages. The curriculum includes:

 

 

Students from kindergarten through eighth grade are each provided with their own devices, ensuring individual access to technology that enhances their learning experiences. Our seamless integration of technology across all grade levels enables students to collaborate on cloud-based learning management platforms, engage with multimedia resources, and develop critical digital literacy skills. Teachers leverage these technologies to create engaging, personalized learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of every student.

 

 

Teachers utilize advanced digital learning tools to make materials accessible and engaging. These tools encourage students to create, communicate, and collaborate in ways previously unimaginable.

 

Our digital learning management system customizes content for students, offering self-guided and self-paced courses, continuous assessment, progress monitoring, and personalized feedback.

 

 

At Howell Township School District, we are dedicated to equipping students with the technological skills necessary for the future. By providing a robust and forward-thinking Computer curriculum, we ensure our students are ready to navigate and innovate in a digital world.
