FUSD has many tools to support teachers. This creates student engagement which results in an authentic learning experience. Each classroom is equipped with student computers, document cameras, projectors, and interactive whiteboards. Many of our classrooms also utilize interactive learner response systems which allow students to answer questions, take quizzes, and take tests using a remote device.

Having the hardware is only half of what you need. But the software is what makes the learning happen! We offer many comprehensive software tools that engage students in learning as well as provide immediate data for the teacher in order to meet the needs of our individual learners. We utilize School City as a form of data tracking, formative, and benchmark assessments. We use Eureka Math at the K-12 level to increase student engagement in mathematics. Students and teachers can instantly see the results and adjust as needed through the use of Google Classroom and many of these programs can be used from any computer connected to the internet.

The Florence Unified School District is leading the way to integrating technology seamlessly to our 21st-century learners. We have technology integrated throughout all classrooms at all grade levels thanks to the technology override that was passed in November of 2010. Currently, both of our high schools have pervasive wireless in every classroom and all students have district-issued laptops to use. Our internal bandwidth is one gigabyte, giving our staff and students access to content and data at amazing speeds. This also means that with the growth of our technology within the district, bandwidth will not be a problem. Our students are utilizing these tools and software programs to learn through creating wikis, websites, blogs, as well as video conferencing.
