As part of our vision for the future, Alleghany County Public Schools is transitioning to a student centered, technology enriched and project based learning environment. The use of technology and technology resources in instruction enhances individual learning, student engagement, and results in students developing a personal motivation to learn. In other words, students are empowered to be self-motivated learners. Staff and students begin to focus on real world learning opportunities that employ 21st Century Skills. Thus, when students are provided real world learning opportunities in an enriched technological learning environment, the distinction between the uses of a device and the professional practice almost disappears which prepares them for life after high school. Integrating technology into the curriculum on a daily basis provides the following:

• the ability for teachers to reach different types of learners;
• empowers students’ intrinsic motivation for learning;
• enhances student participation;
• teachers become facilitators;
• develops 21st Century Skills;
• multiple methods of assessment;
• encourages students to work together in groups;
• enhances creativity;
• makes connections to the real world;
• students are engaged in the learning process;
• makes learning meaningful;
• improves feedback; and
• prepares students for the future in the workforce.
