Technology Integration: Home Page

Welcome to FUSD's Technology Integration Website!

As Flagstaff Unified School District's Technology Integration Coordinator, my role is to work directly with district faculty and staff to help ensure that technology is being used -- and used well -- throughout the school system. On these Web pages you will find information about district technology initiatives, grant and funding opportunities, trainings and workshops, and much more.

I hope this site will be an ever-developing resource for all and an effective channel of communication. It will be a constant work in progress, so please check back often!

Best Regards,
