Technology
Walled Lake Consolidated Schools has charted new paths in infrastructure and use of educational technology to enhance instructional practices and transform learning. A shared vision with intentional planning and work by the district has built a strong foundation for transformational learning experiences for students. The effective use of technology in our classrooms enables our students to learn in ways not otherwise possible.
Community support for educational technology is evident. The community supported a safety, security and technology bond helping to ensure 21st century learning environments in all classrooms with equitable access to technology for students in November of 2013.
The Information Systems department works hard to provide and support a robust and reliable network to support Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), digital learning and computer based testing.
