Technology Services

In Northshore, it is important that our infrastructure and our integration of classroom practices work hand in hand. User Services, Information Services, and Network Operations Team members implement, support and maintain the infrastructure, network, systems, software and computers that enable teaching and learning. The Instructional Technology Team works to help teachers learn to effectively use digital resources, content and technology tools for teaching and learning. Together, our teams provide teachers the tools and training needed to connect technology with learning.

In every classroom, you can expect to find the following equipment:

• Teacher computer
• Presentation technology: large format display or interactive panel
• Document camera
• Sound amplification system with microphones for teacher and students

Our district provides an assigned computing device for every student Pre-K through 12, where students in grades 2-12 take their devices home each day to further their learning.  For more information about expectations for use and care, visit our Student Technologies page.

Northshore provides WiFi access for all students, staff, and visitors.  Use of these resources must comply with our district's Responsible Use Procedure, 2022P.  Read Northshore's Responsible Use Procedure to learn more about expectations. 

To comply with federal requirements and to ensure a safe and focused learning environment, Northshore maintains two filtering systems that prevent students, staff, and visitors from accessing content that may be objectionable and/or inappropriate.  Devices assigned to students are filtered at all times, whether at school or off campus.

Students live in a world saturated with media and digital interactivity.  In Northshore, we believe it is of paramount importance that we help students be good citizens and consumers and producers of media in their digital world.  We provide instruction to all students in the area of Digital Citizenship through use of District-approved curriculum from Common Sense Media.

In the Northshore School District, we recognize that the world is changing rapidly. As a result, we are fundamentally reconstructing what it means to deliver a contemporary, world-class education that prepares our students for the future ahead of them. Our visionary technology plan sets a bold course for the District, one in which technology is both a keystone component of the teaching and learning experience, and a critical enabler of our operational programs to fully achieve our vision. Learn more about how the District's bold Technology Plan lays the foundation necessary to support individual student learning, innovation and creativity, and empowered students and staff.
