The implementation of Booktracks totally supports the vision statement:

Grand Forks Technology Vision Statement

The Grand Forks Public Schools believe technology is an integral component of learning and is necessary to learn effectively, live productively and participate globally in an increasingly digital world. Technology resources transform learning by allowing learners to create, publish, collaborate and communicate with others in a global environment. Technology helps learners gather and analyze information, solve problems and develop higher-level thinking skills through authentic real-world experiences.

Teachers will be able to track textbooks and assets from their computers. Reports can be

generated to see where extra copies of textbooks can be found – saving time and money.

The software is easy to use and the benefits are great.
