{Kids>Teachers>Technology}
Originally a product of the Maintenance Department, the MO of the DCPS Technology Department was for many years only to support technical requests. Now technology is central to almost every function of every department including instruction.
If we embrace the idea that technology is ALWAYS a tool and never a product, a Technology Department that embraces a role of organizational leadership is a tremendous amplifier for success.
