Technology Integration Specialist Team

We are the team of integration and support specialists for District 279. We are excited to be a part of such an important, if at times overwhelming, movement in education. It is our common belief that technology should be integrated to support teaching and learning, not be what the teaching and learning is about. We look forward to working to promote District 279 mission.

Foundational Technologies Integrated and Supported

MoodleMoodle is an open source course management system. It is designed to support blended learning, which means that much of the course content is also included on-line. This helps to create a community space for classes outside of the boundaries of the classroom and school day.

WordPress

WordPress is an open source content management system, but most of time it has been used as a blog publishing application, which offers friendly user interface and agile customization ability. In ISD 279, our teachers and students use it as a tool/service  for communication, learning enrichment and learning improvement.
