  2. Classroom Innovations

  3. Technology Highlights Plano ISD Technology PhilosophyWe believe that technology is a tool. It is not an education itself, and it does not and should not take the place of a well-trained professional teacher. It can, however, motivate students and enhance the curriculum, and bring to the fingertips of every student a storehouse of research and information which expands student learning and strengthens teaching.

  4. Technology Highlights Plano ISD Technology Vision StatementTo provide comprehensive, equitable and efficient use of existing and emerging technology to engage, challenge and nurture diverse learners in preparation for citizenship in an increasingly complex information society.
