Eastwood Local believes that successful utilization of educational technology allows us to teach, learn and work more effectively.  It allows students to demonstrate creativity; to apply knowledge; and to collect and analyze information.  Technology also helps staff to make informed, data-driven decisions that will ensure our students achieve.  

Supported by our community, the students of Eastwood Local have daily access to technology including a Chromebook, numerous online platforms and resources, and wireless connections. With all this digital access, student data privacy is a top priority. We use advanced security tools—like filters, firewalls, and two-factor authentication—to keep our systems safe. Eastwood staff also play an important role in protecting student information.  The district takes security and privacy seriously for the digital resources used in the classroom as well.  More information about how we secure student data, view our Student Data Privacy page.  

The Technology Department is dedicated to ensuring the best possible experience with technology in the classroom, across the district and behind the scenes.  We are committed to working with staff and students to integrate technology to enrich teaching and learning, and improve productivity. We provide the technology tools, training and support for staff and students to provide an environment that will help Eastwood prepare students for the rest of their lives.
