Dan and Christa work together to lead the strategy and implementation of technology systems that enrich teaching, learning, and district operations. Educational technology spans the tools, platforms, infrastructure, and digital practices that support curriculum goals, streamline administrative workflows, and foster engaging, personalized learning.

Rocky River City School District's tools and practices exemplify this approach:

• Chromebooks provisioned and monitored through Hapara, enabling real-time instructional oversight while students work digitally.

• Use of Gaggle to ensure online student safety and responsible digital behavior in compliance with Ohio Senate Bill 29 and other policies.

• Deployment of Clevertouch interactive displays in classrooms, offering multi-point touch screens, infinite whiteboarding space, and access to rich teaching apps.

• A help desk supported by Quadstar and partnership with Laketec to maintain high-quality tiered technical support, network reliability, and device infrastructure.

Why it matters:
Educational technology is essential for creating equitable access, increasing instructional productivity, supporting data-driven decision-making, and preparing students with the digital literacy skills they need for future success. By blending secure infrastructure, teacher training, and student tools, we strengthen curriculum alignment and help educators adapt instruction to diverse learning environments.
