Technology Integration Action Plan

     Based on an analysis of the technology needs on our campus, two areas that we need to improve are utilizing available technology tools more effectively and using technology to monitor and analyze student assessment data. As part of a three-year Technology Improvement Plan, our district has provided every teacher on our campus with a desktop, a wireless laptop, a media projector, and access to Interwrite Pads. In addition, we have wireless Internet throughout the campus, and teachers have access to two Open Access Labs (OALs) and two Computers on Wheels (COWs).


      Instead of focusing on bringing in new technology tools at this time, it would be more efficient to find ways to have teachers more effectively utilize the technology already available to them. Improvements in both areas will require focused, ongoing staff technology training and support. Reflecting on last week’s suggestions for staff development, tailoring the trainings to the needs and experience levels of the teachers will ensure that time is being used effectively. Recommendations for Staff Development sessions, including Evaluation, follow.
