Assistant Educational Technology Integrator
MMFS strives to support students, faculty, and the educational community in the use of technology to aid in the learning process. This goes well beyond facilitating mandated or recommended assistive technology - an Educational Technology Integrator works to match students and faculty with the best technologies to not just enable the learning process, but enrich it. Whenever possible, the goal is to provide detailed and targeted instruction to assist someone learning the tools/process for creating their own content, rather than simply gathering needs, and creating the content for the student or teacher. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a passion for education, working with High School teachers, and working with a team of IT professionals dedicated to the mission of educating LD Students.
Responsibilities and Priorities
In order to facilitate daily work and project-based planning, the primary role is defined in two parts:
Faculty

- Facilitate and manage peripheral technology (interactive whiteboards, scanners, cameras, and projection appliances) which can be used in a classroom setting to create subject matter, or enrich the learning experience
- Facilitate installation, support and training for faculty to effectively utilize content creation tools integratable with the interactive whiteboards in every classroom. The goal is that every teacher can deliver a multisensory, accessible curriculum.
- Help with general technology literacy, vet and provide documentation and self-help resources
