District Technology Overview

At General McLane School District, laptop and desktop computers, iPads, and a variety of technology, such as electronic whiteboards and projectors, are used as tools to enhance and facilitate learning and assessment. Computer Science and Technology instruction is provided to all students K-8 and as electives in grades 9-12. Computer labs are also available to students and staff in each building. Classrooms are equipped with screens and projectors. A high-speed wireless network and networked laser printers exist in all buildings across the district.

Students in grades K-12 are issued an iPad to use at school and at home for both live remote classes and asynchronous learning. In addition, learning support teachers utilize a variety of iPad apps with their students.

In 2019, the General McLane School Board approved a technology plan to undergo a one-to-one initiative for students in grades 3-12 using Apple iPads, and in 2020 approved iPads for grades K-2, as well.
