Safety, the first priority

Part of ensuring a safe learning environment includes providing students with a safe experience when they use the internet and other digital resources.

Connection Established

Many students bring their own technology, like tablets and smart phones, to aid their learning. Thanks to the technology team, students can seamlessly connect their devices to access the District technology resources.

Look to the Future

Part of preparing Cobb students to be future ready is continuing to design, test, and implement new district wide technologies to keep the school system at the forefront of innovation.

Cultivating Tomorrow’s Leaders 

Cobb’s Instructional Technology Team is re-imagining teaching and learning!  Our team, in partnership with district stakeholders, works to ensure that our teachers and students have the technological knowledge, skills and support needed for the limitless possibilities awaiting them. Using research-based methods, our team has developed the Learning Innovation Design Program, that aligns with and supports the district’s initiatives for STUDENT SUCCESS.

Learning Innovation Design Program

The Learning Innovation Design Program is an educational paradigm shift that values learner differences and harnesses technology to allow the educator and learner to co-plan student-centered educational experiences using mobile and stationary labs. 

The Learning Innovation Design Program:

• Supports teachers’ technology and curriculum integration skills through collaboration, training/modelling, and co-teaching;
• Serves all students, supporting them in realizing their individual academic potential;
• Capitalizes on each students’ individuality as an asset; and 
• Supports learners owning their learning based on individual needs.  

Innovation Labs 

Innovation Labs, both mobile and stationary, provide digital and nondigital, high-level resources that align to curriculum and technology standards. Innovation Labs are intended to promote student-centered learning through:

• Rigorous academic, technical, and challenge-based learning,
• Collaborative group work amongst all stakeholders, and
• A technology enriched curriculum that offers authentic learning experiences.

Develop Strategy  

The team provides planning, initiation, execution, monitoring and completing technology initiatives to meet the challenges of a changing world and deliver customer and stakeholder value.   

Fiscally Responsible 

Creating, optimizing, and maintaining a balanced budget to create a stable and secure environment.   

Project Driven 

The team continually adapts to the rapidly changing technology environment to ensure modernized tools are available to teachers for the success of our students.  Key initiatives include a district-wide Visitor Volunteer Management System, computing devices for CTAE programs and a Learning Everywhere environment for all students.
