About Us

Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of "facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources."

When used properly, technology can be a powerful tool that greatly improves the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, technology-related professional development can help teachers to become better at their craft. As a result, the technology-related professional development that takes place in the Canyons School District not only focuses on improving an educator's use of technology, but stresses effective teaching strategies that enable a practice that comfortably adheres to the ISTE Standards for teachers, administrators, and for students.

Our mission is to improve teaching and learning through the use of appropriate technologies,
supporting students in their progress toward college-, career-, and citizenship-readiness.
