The Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) and Patwin Elementary School are both currently developing comprehensive education technology plans.  As these plans are developed they will be posted on this web site or will be linked to this web site.  Please submit any questions or comments regarding education technology planning at Patwin or in the Davis Joint Unified School District to patwin@dcn.davis.ca.us. Thank you for your participation in this effort.

The current cycle of education technology planning in the DJUSD and at individual school sites is part of an ongoing education technology  planning effort that actually began in the early 1990's when personal computers, computer networks, multimedia instruction materials and Internet access became more commonplace and more affordable.  In early 1995 a computer networking plan was created by a DJUSD volunteer committee.  The 1995 DJUSD computer networking plan document with exhibits can be accessed by clicking on this link.

One of the most comprehensive K-12 education technology planning resources on the Internet is the Microsoft K-12 education technology web site.  This site has extensive sections covering the effective utilization of computers, computer networks, the Internet and multimedia instruction materials in K-12 classrooms.  This is an excellent "first stop" for parents and teachers who are interested in becoming familiar with the technologies and issues involved in implementing K-12 education technology.
