Message from the Director
"The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles."
-Oren Harari
With Innovation, constant evaluation and reflection are necessary for technology to remain relevant & efficient. Creative thinking, support for priorities, and consideration of the WHY, will be at the forefront of TS&I. With Technology, one thing remains certain, it is always in a constant state of change. In a time where even one-second is now too slow, solutions and adaptability are extremely necessary. Technology Services & Innovation is a special department that bridges the needs of every-single employee and student in this district. Daily we will ensure communication is priority and our students learning remains center focus. Through the relationships we build, our team will work with each school and district department to evaluate core-business and learning functions to align with the available technology hardware, software, and support to ensure efficiency and productivity remain possible. Please join me on Twitter @VCSLearn2Tech to see examples of amazing learning opportunities provided for our students as well as engage in conversation around Technology Services & Innovation's vision and mission.
