Digital Learning Philosophy
HPS’s approach to the use of digital resources and educational technology begins with the assertion that the learning experiences teachers design are meaningful, age-appropriate and enhance or enrich learning. The district vision statement drives our thought process and reasoning behind each device and software choice. HPS value the exciting role of technology in our lives but we also acknowledge that as we care for our children, technology can provide some challenges keeping our kids safe and healthy. In order to help with this challenge, below are some information and tips for balancing technology. We believe in scaffolding opportunities and allowing students space to learn and grow. While, we don't want students to experience internet blocks at every turn, some controls are in place in order to create a safer digital environment for them. We want to provide students with the tools and knowledge needed to manage their own digital resources, both content and quantity.
