Technology Services
At Eastern Lancaster County School District, our technology initiatives equip students and faculty with essential tools for 21st-century learning, foster collaboration, communication, and productivity. Our infrastructure supports current and future educational trends.
Teaching, Learning, and Assessment:
Students engage in versatile technology-enhanced learning with a focus on student-driven digital curriculum, aiming to elevate academic achievement and cultivate 21st-century skills.
All K-12 students have one-to-one mobile device access, liberating learning from physical confines to an internet-enabled Anywhere, Anytime paradigm. A tailored digital dashboard via the ELANCO Gateway, Spartan Learning Portal, and Google Classroom empowers students with curriculum and tools across devices.
