Fremont School District 79 Technology Department’s role is to support, maintain and develop an atmosphere for educational technologies and their associated 21st century critical thinking skills. Fremont’s programs drive the need for specific technologies in the classroom and not the implementation of technology for technology sake. Because our teachers and staff have the skills to engage our students in a safe and forward thinking environment, it is important to keep their technology skills current. The Technology Department conducts trainings when skills need to be refreshed and when new technologies are implemented.
