Access to modern technology is changing the way students learn and access information. The Chagrin Falls Exempted Village School district students have never known a world without high-speed Internet access, social media, Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia. These children have grown up in a technology-rich world and, subsequently, they think and solve problems differently than previous generations. In their minds, why would they read an instruction manual when you can go online and find a variety of videos related to the topic at hand?

The focus of the Office of Technology & Information Systems is to  ensure our students are learning six core technology skills:

• Critical thinking

• Research

• Collaboration

• Adaptability

• Communication

• Presentation

We help teachers integrate technology into their curriculum in a way that makes it exciting, not scary. A blessing, not a burden.

1:1 Computing Model
Students in grades K-12 are provided with a district owned Chromebook. Students will use the Chromebook in a variety of ways in the classroom. The focus is to provide students with multiple opportunities to research, collaborate and create. In addition, older students take the device home at night and on weekends. Offering take home devices is one way we can expand the learning outside of their traditional classroom.

Our team is always willing to share policies, stories, best practices, and much more related to our 1:1 environment. If you would like more information, please email us using the addresses below. We'll answer any questions you may have. You can also set up a visit to come out and see the program in action!

Parents may interact with a variety of online systems throughout the school year. It can be challenging to determine who to contact when you have a problem with one of those systems. We prefer to be contacted via email. It is much easier to solve a problem when we have had time to investigate what is going on. Use the table below as your guide.
