Applications and Data Management
- The district utilizes a variety of enterprise level applications to
manage its daily operations as well as retain data and documents for
various state and federal reporting requirements. Most of these
applications are hosted internally at the two District Datacenters with
the remainder hosted by the vendors. Many of these applications are
integrated with each other to transmit data between them on real-time,
daily, and on-demand basis. Below are brief descriptions of District 203
key applications and their purposes.
Instructional Technology
- Technology transforms learning environments in District 203.The
Instructional Technology department works with the Learning Services
department to effectively integrate technology tools and resources into
the curriculum. To maximize this benefit, Technology Integration
Specialists, who are certified teachers, help their fellow teachers
bring technology into the classroom. They provide one-on-one assistance
to individual teachers, grade level teams and content area teams in
implementing the curriculum.
The goal of the Instructional
Technology team is to provide technology tools, support and innovation
for both students and teachers in the classroom. We do this by enabling
the District's Mission and the iT203 Mission.
