Technology & Information Services

Maine Township High School District 207 has long been a leader in the use of technology among schools, most notably as Google’s first-ever K-12 partner with Google Apps for Education, now Google Workspace. An understanding of the broad use of information and technology around the world in the 21st Century requires that schools look different than they once did. Memorizing facts and providing formulaic solutions to teachers are not the type of innovative skills that students need to prepare for their futures. Rather, they must be creative, critical thinkers who can find and evaluate information and use that to solve complex problems. Technology in District 207 is designed to support authentic and problem-based learning opportunities for students while also ensuring that staff members and the community at-large benefit from innovative and efficient solutions.

Applications and Use
The Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA) gives parents greater control over student data, imposes new breach notification requirements, and regulates the collection and use of student data by schools, the Illinois State Board of Education, and education technology vendors. Learn more about the district applications and their use here.

Technology Purchasing
Technology purchases are typically more complex than one might imagine, particularly given everything from District 207’s secure enterprise-class network to concerns related to data security related to student and staff information. As a result, the tech purchasing process should always begin by completing the Maine 207 Technology Purchasing Form in Eduphoria. This form covers everything from devices to software to online subscriptions, and purchases should not be made prior to the completion of the approval process. Typically, the actual purchase will be made by District Technology staff, who will also ensure correct set-up prior to the device, software, or service being put in use by students or staff.
