Technology Integration

The integration of technology in education will prepare students for future college and career paths. Being fluent in technology is essential in order to be successful in a digital world. Broward County Public Schools uses the ISTE Student Standards (http://www.iste.org/standards/standards/for-students-2016). The standards are designed for use by educators across the curriculum, with every age student, with a goal of cultivating the following attributes throughout a student’s academic career:

• Empowered Learner
• Digital Citizen
• Knowledge Constructor
• Innovative Designer
• Computational Thinker
• Creative Communicator
• Global Collaborator

Broward County is a Microsoft district, and all students have accounts for Office 365, which gives them access to online applications such as OneDrive, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and more.  Students ave the ability to download and install Office products (using an active student number) on up to five personal devices.  This can be done from the Office 365 Broward home page after signing in. Students can access Office 365 from their Single Sign On account. Directions for access can be found here:

English             Spanish             Haitian-Creole              Portuguese

When signing in for the first time, students will need to answer three security questions, in case they ever need to retrieve their password.  Parent assistance would be helpful.  This Single Sign On portal gives students access to other resources, as well.
