Technology
We are proud to be a K-5 1:1 device school. Technology is used as a tool to assist and enrich learning. Students are introduced to a variety of learning platforms, programs, and resources.
Digital Learning Applications
In an effort to conform to state law mandates and communicate to our families how their child’s information is being shared, Ute Meadows staff will openly communicate which technology tools (software, apps, extensions, etc.) are being used as learning tools by our students. We will post a database on the Ute Meadows website on the Family Resources tab. Below is a current list of tech tools we plan to use with students for the 2024-25 school year. You can access our Family Resources page for additional tech tools we add throughout the school year to meet our students’ learning needs. Please contact Tom Gilgenbach, Digital Teacher Librarian, if you have further questions.
To learn more about these digital learning applications, please contact the digital teacher librarian.

Tech for Ed in Jeffco
Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook. This creates an equitable and sustainable model for technology-enabled classrooms that prepares students to thrive in a connected, digital world in alignment with the Jeffco Thrives Strategic Plan.
All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.
Students in grades K-12 can also access a variety of digital applications and consistent tools that give them opportunities to demonstrate learning in creative and challenging ways. Each of the technology tools supports students as creators, collaborators and innovative problem solvers rather than as consumers of information.
The program also allows for professional development and learning for teachers to use the provided tools and devices to transform student learning experiences. Having consistent tools and opportunities for teacher training allows for more challenging learning and student engagement and deeper technology integration.

All students and teachers have access to premium digital learning applications with their Jeffco log-in credentials. A consistent core set of applications allows for student data privacy aligned to state legislation and seamless access for personalized learning. This includes single sign-on (SSO) and integration of applications.
