Information and Technology Literacy

The Information and Technology Literacy (ITL) program embodies the district’s philosophy of implementing, developing, learning, enhancing, and promoting lifetime learning and inquiry.  The primary purpose of the ITL program is to empower students to be effective users of ideas and information in print and non-print formats in a constantly changing learning environment.  The ITL program focuses upon strategies that allow each student to retrieve, interpret, utilize, evaluate and synthesize information as it is presented in all formats.  Additionally, the program will foster competency and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas.
