Enhancing Technology Integration at DHS for 21st Century Education

The mission of DHS is to advocate for the seamless integration of technology into our classrooms, preparing students for successful careers in today's competitive workforce. Currently, we have limited technology resources, with four student desktops and various teaching aids, but we face challenges such as budget constraints and reluctant teachers. Our goal is to establish a more robust technological environment with laptops for collaboration, improved training, and a modern curriculum that embraces technology, ensuring our students are competitive and ready for their futures.
