TECHNOLOGY

Purpose
The purpose of the Technology Department is to support the mission and vision of Dripping Springs ISD by providing effective, efficient, and innovative technology services.  We encourage students and staff to use technology as a means for innovation, in the classroom and beyond, and we strive for excellence in serving, supporting and collaborating with our learning community.

Overview
Technology Education has long been an integral component of instruction in Dripping Springs ISD. The Technology Department of Dripping Springs ISD is part of the Learning and Innovation team and works closely with L&I to provide the best technology solutions and experiences for students and staff.

Technology can have the greatest impact when integrated into the curriculum to achieve clear, measurable educational objectives. When technology is used to apply higher-order thinking concepts and teachers receive effective professional development, both students and teachers succeed.

Responsibilities
The Department is responsible for the planning, implementation, operation, monitoring, and maintenance of the information systems in the District. This includes the communications network, hardware and software infrastructure, as well as numerous other systems that are necessary to support student learning.
