Technology - Mission Statement
Anthony ISD envisions building a community of learners of all ages, committed to take advantage of their bilingual and bi-cultural heritage using technology to enhance collaboration and achievement.
The Anthony Independent School District has implemented a Technology Plan that is patterned after the state of Texas Long Range Plan for Technology and serves as a framework to meet the technological needs of our stakeholders. The AISD board utilizes this plan to foster technological initiatives set forth in the campus and district action plans.
The role of technology in the Anthony ISD is to achieve excellence and equity in student performance. This will be accomplished by using technology to accelerate instruction especially for special populations, particularly our language minority students. For all students, technology is expected to stimulate creativity and curiosity as well as to assist in the development of problem-solving and higher order thinking skills. Finally, technology must be utilized to establish the levels of technological literacy and competence to provide students with the skills that they will need in the future.
