camera• There are 2 computer labs available• Internet connection in the classrooms• Students have access to web-based programs

BUT…..• The computers need a user name and

password that sometimes does not work• The Smart board are used as fancy projectors

and not for interactive lessons• There computer labs are closed a lot when the

teacher assistants are not available or to print reports

• The ELMO cameras are used mostly to display worksheets or review assignments

Teacher at my Campus Today

• 80% teach using a student centered approach

• Teachers give state assessments using palm pilots

• Only about 50% attend summer technology trainings

• Still follow curriculum-centered educational approach

• Use computers for administrative purposes

How do we match our teaching with the demands of a technology advancing world?

• Provide an MTT for every Campus

• Make teachers accountable for attending technology

trainings

• Allow participation of all grade levels in UIL competition

• Students should turn in a technology portfolio with technology products

• Principals should monitor for technology usage in the classrooms and provide support if necessary

Vision Accomplished…..

Our students and teachers will develop the necessary skills to utilize technology as a tool when creating, accessing, evaluating and communicating information. Students will use technology as a resource to achieve curriculum outcomes, to develop problem solving skills, and as a means for metacognition. Teachers will be provided the needed support when utilizing technology to create instructional materials, prepare and deliver lessons, and evaluate students. The end result will be info-savvy students that are equipped to compete in our rapid changing world.
