Wortham ISD embraces the power of technology to meet the needs of our students and staff effectively. Our students primarily utilize Chromebooks for their technological needs, while our classrooms are equipped with smart projectors to enhance the learning experience. To streamline access and ensure online safety, we offer Single Sign-On (SSO) services through ClassLink and utilize GoGuardian to monitor and support student engagement in online learning activities, promoting focus and safety.

Moreover, we are committed to educating our students about responsible technology use, covering essential topics such as 'Netiquette' and strategies to identify, prevent, and report cyberbullying incidents.

Many of our dedicated teachers leverage Google Classroom as a robust Learning Management System to organize assignments and facilitate communication. Through Google Classroom, parents and guardians can access Classroom Guardian Summaries, allowing them to stay informed about current, upcoming, and past assignments, as well as track any outstanding work that needs attention."
