Instructional Technology

Nashoba Regional High School - Where curriculum drives technology

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." 

                                                                              --Alvin Toffler, American futurist

Instructional Technology involves the use of computers and other technology in support of student learning, accommodating the full range of learning styles and fully integrating technology with the curriculum. Technology is used to organize data, promote collaborative problem solving, encourage learning and communication in a global context, develop models, conduct research, and support the creative process.
