Being a tech-intentional school means only using screen-based technology that aligns with your mission and values
Being a tech-intentional school means only using screen-based technology that enhances, nurtures, and supports your school community, your students, or your educators and staff in a way that aligns with your mission and values; and resisting, delaying, and limiting screen use that interferes with healthy mental, physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, and emotional development.
A tech-intentional school is not anti-technology.
