School City of Mishawaka

This month, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on the School City of Mishawaka Technology Team, a group truly dedicated to advancing effective educational technology leadership within their district.

Their Vision: The Mishawaka Technology Team is driven by a primary vision: fostering a future-ready learning environment through strategic technology integration and transformative learning experiences for all students. They are committed to ensuring technology serves as a powerful catalyst for educational innovation.

What Makes Them Stand Out? Don't be surprised if you're on the receiving end of a playful prank or jump scare from this fun-loving team! They believe in keeping things light and lively, even amidst the serious work of supporting digital infrastructure and learning initiatives.

If They Were a Gadget: If the Mishawaka Tech Team were a tech gadget, they'd be a Rubik's Cube. As they put it, "Each person has a great side but work better all mixed together." This perfectly encapsulates their collaborative spirit and how their individual strengths combine to solve complex challenges in educational technology implementation.

Rocking Technology in Schools: The team recently implemented a new ticketing system that has significantly enhanced communication and work tracking, demonstrating a commitment to operational excellence. This system boasts a remarkable 24-hour turnaround for Chromebooks and chargers, ensuring equitable access to essential digital resources both in and out of the classroom. Parents are even notified via email when their student receives a charger, with a convenient link to pay online or return the charger to avoid fees, streamlining digital resource management.

Golden Nugget of Wisdom: Their top advice for fellow educators? "Have you tried turning off and back on again? Be persistently positive even when in your most frustrating moments!" This underscores the importance of resilience and a growth mindset in navigating the complexities of educational technology leadership.

Unwinding After a Busy Day: After a day of supporting the district's technology needs, you might find the team unwinding at Hop Station, enjoying appetizers and lively conversation.

The Indiana CTO Council is proud to highlight the dedication and innovative spirit of the School City of Mishawaka Technology Team!
