=Welcome to the Infrastructure for Technology Subcommittee Workspace of the MISD Technology Committee =

**Vision Statement:** We want to be the leading learning organization in the Nation...

Infrastructure for Technology focuses on hardware, software, and human infrastructure (the capabilities or proficiencies of those who use the technical components). The infrastructure of a school is the critical element of support for all four areas of the Long-Range Plan for Technology. This hardware—and the connecting peripherals such as the network connections and the resulting communications capabilities—enable the system to function properly. The infrastructure provides the foundation for software applications, computer programs such as graphics or spreadsheets, and the TEKS content.
