Instructional Technology

 

Our goal is to provide quick-reference resources for teachers to facilitate the integration of technology into teaching and learning. Our website is full of curriculum tools and examples of how these tools are used in the classroom. Here you will find technology tools and web tools to help guide teachers to efficiently use their hardware and software.  For any Instructional Technology questions feel free to email:

Technology Request:

There’s now an easier way for 4J employees to request new apps, software and hardware and consult with the Technology Department on new initiatives using technology.

Employees must complete and submit the new online form outlining their needs to technology staff. Use the form to request new apps or software, new hardware or support the early planning stages of a project, among other things. Each request will be routed to the appropriate technology staff member for review and responsive follow-up.

Consultation with technology staff is required for many reasons, including connecting any device to the 4J network, purchasing a subscription that requires an employee’s 4J username to login, and installing software or apps on any district-owned device.

The new process protects 4J against growing cybersecurity threats, ensures compliance with federal student data privacy laws, and aligns technology purchases with student learning and safety, to name just a few reasons. The interim superintendent and district’s executive leadership team has reviewed and approved the process.

Thank you for following this necessary and timely step to safeguard 4J’s digital environment and support innovative and effective teaching and learning.
