Campus Tech Support
Instructional Technology is supported on our campus by a part-time tech person, who is also a classroom teacher. She is available 3
periods each day to assist with technology issues. Our campus ITRC, along with our district ITRC representative assist our Campus
tech person with campus technology issues and planning.
Future Vision and Direction
One-sixth of our faculty will be integrating technology into their curriculum through the use of Innovation Stations that have been
installed in the classrooms. Within three years, approximately 60% of our teachers will be using Innovation Station technology to
teach their students. With the addition of 2 more mobile labs, students will have access to computers in the classrooms. With the
distribution of laptops, all teachers will increase their use of technology by collaborative department planning, by increasing their use
of available online resources, and by utilizing district online tools to follow/report student progress.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
Our Campus Technology Plan will be revised as we begin writing our Campus Improvement Plan during the fall semester, 2009.
It is anticipated that with the increased availability of technology, our teachers will be able to improve communications with students
and parents as well as improve student learning and performance through the use of teacher websites, blogs, online resources, and
district technology tools.
Goal 1: Teaching and Learning
Teaching & Learning focuses on the instructional needs of teachers and the learning needs of students in meeting the vision of
technology in education.
Objective 1.1: Integrate the Technology Applications TEKS within the foundation curriculum at each grade level.
