County Technology Plan
West Virginia has placed an emphasis on equitably providing technology for schools in order to
enhance student learning, improve student achievement, and prepare students for post-secondary
education and the world of work. Many stakeholders are involved in this process including students,
teachers, administrators, parents, community members, legislators, board of education members and
others.
Collectively, the county technology planning team members have assisted in creating, refining,
implementing and utilizing educational technology to meet the current standards, develop local
programs, build partners and capacity, make data-driven decisions, and to evaluate the use of
technology for administrative and instructional tasks.
The county technology plan is a component of the UCIP and is based on the state OPTimal online
format (http://wv.ontargetus.com/). This plan will serve several functions. Not only does the plan
complement and support the county's instructional goals as delineated in the UCIP, it is also intended to
help meet the technology objectives/requirements of the school, county/state policies, state/federal
programs, and competitive grants. Examples of these include the following:
Policy 2320: A Process for Improving Education Performance Based Accreditation System
Policy 2450: Virtual Distance Learning
Policy 2460: Use of the Internet by Students and Educators
Policy 2470: Use of Technology by Students and Educators
Policy 2510: Assuring Quality of Education
Policy 2520: Content Standards and Objectives
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in order to receive Universal Service Fund Program
E-rate Funds
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which establishes the Enhancing Education Through
Technology (Ed Tech) Program
West Virginia House Bill 4319
Basic Skills/Computer Education (BS/CE)
WV SUCCESS
WVDE Reinventing Education
However, the most important function of the plan is to ensure that the effective use of educational
technology supports achievement and lifelong learning.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
STANDARDIZED ASSESSMENTS
A review of the 2003 – 2004 WESTEST results indicate that students skills in mathematics does not
meet county expectations. Although reading scores tend to be slightly higher than the state average,
some cell groups did not meet AYP standards.
Adopted software that are available in all schools can address reading and math skills. The beauty of
computerized programming is its ability to individualize automatically and/or by teacher input. By using
the “I Know” web site, the Content Standards on CD and internet, and the TestMate Clarity CD that can
disaggregate assessment results, teachers can refine instruction to focus on the specific needs of
individual students.
In addition, PLATO software is being used to remediate students who have skill deficiencies in the
middle and high schools. It is anticipated that this computer courseware will improve the academic
performance of identified students.
PARTICIPATION RATE
The schools utilized WVEIS information to track participation in the WESTEST and other assessments.
Only one cell group at one school did not meet AYP in this category. Tracking students attendance via
WVEIS throughout the year and working closely with students who were targeted with high absentee
records contributed to the schools’ successes in this area.
WRITING ASSESSMENT
Every school met the criterion for Writing Assessment. Both the legacy IBM and the current Compass
Learning software have writing components which can be used in grades K – 5. Microsoft Office
Professional Suite offers Word as a resource for grades 6 – 12. Word can be an effective tool for
teachers to incorporate in their lessons by requiring writing assignments in their subjects and requiring
students to use Word as their medium.
Additionally, students in seventh and tenth grades will take the writing assessment on line this spring.
Many students participated in a pilot assessment for this program. Additionally, in preparation for the
online Writing Assessment some schools are examining the possibility of using online assessment
programs that will allow students to practice writing that will be scored on line.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Every school met this requirement. The internet, however, can be used as a source to find lessons or
activities to incorporate in the physical fitness programs. Additionally, the teachers can use a
spreadsheet (available in either Lotus or Microsoft applications suite) to track each student’s progress
as he/she learns and practices the skills that are tested.
Analysis of UCIP
Assessment - See previous narrative
Attendance Rate - All schools with grades K-8 met this requirement.
Graduation Rate - None of the three high schools met this requirement. Dropout prevention measures
Page 7 of 45
have been implemented. Among these is using WVEIS attendance records to identify students who are
persistently absent, whose academic performance is poor, and who have exhibited poor behavior.
These at-risk students can be directed into the Plato program, which can be individualized to meet their
academic needs. A dropout prevention task force has been created and is mandated to study the
dropout problem in the high schools and suggest stragegies to lower this rate.
Special Education.
Two areas that have been included in the Office of Special Education's Continuous Improvement
Monitoring Plan are: to provide work-based learning experiences in grades 9-12 and to improve
performance on the state standardized assessment. Students with disabilities is a subgroup that did not
meet AYP.
The Office of Special Education is providing more computers for special education classrooms and
assistive technology for those who need such devices. Thereby, students and teachers have improved
access to appropriate courseware and teachers have access to IEP writing software that is compatible
with the State's Content Standards and test options.
Vocational Education.
A review of vocational programs indicated that equipment had become outdated. New equipment is
being provided so that students can develop their work skills on technology they can expect to use
when they enter the work force.
Adult and Community Education
Computer courses have been a part of the Adult and Community Education program for a long time.
However, their relevance was a function of the hardware and software available in the schools.
Upgrading equipment has been and continues to be a primary concern. With newer hardware and
software, the Adult and Community Education program can offer more current topics on more
contemporary equipment, thereby improving its efforts to meet the technological needs of the
community and to increase technological literacy for all ages.
Technology Infrastructure
After reviewing the status of each site according to State standards, the county’s technology findings
are:
1. WVEIS and Internet access speed is the same for all schools and all non-instructional sites. All sites
are now equipped with T1 lines.
2. Most schools still have Cat5 cabling, rather than fiber optic cabling, for their backbone. Three high
schools, three middle schools, four intermediate schools, seven elementary schools, Pikeside, the
Central Office, Ramer Center and Ramer Annex have fiber optic backbones.
3. New classrooms added to existing schools need three computers and one printer in each. New
portables need to be cabled.
4. The newest school, Spring Mills, has been cabled, WVEIS/Internet access installed, and hardware
and software installed to the state standard.
5. Twelve (12) elementary schools and one middle school do not have Layer II switches and do not
therefore meet state standard. Three high schools meet this state standard, as do Hedgesville Middle,
North Middle. Berkeley Heights, Eagle School, Mill Creek, Opequon, Orchard View, Potomack,
Hedgesville Elementary, Back Creek, and Valley View also meet OTIS (Layer II master switches with
10/100 Layer I to all desktops).
6. Sixteen (16) of 19 elementary schools still have the (original) Basic Skills Legacy software and
hardware! Donated hardware is assisting with replacing IBM Model 25s, 35s, and 45s with donated
Model 300s or more recent hardware.
7. Fourteen (14) elementary schools have the Basic Skills Legacy hardware and software in their
classrooms but have the current Basic Skills hardware and software (Compass Learning) in their labs.
However, the new software cannot be used in classrooms because the Legacy hardware in the
classrooms does not support the current Basic Skills software.
Page 8 of 45
8. One of 19 elementary schools still has an Apple IIGS computer lab from the Potomac Edison
grant (circa early 1990s). Inwood Primary School does not have a lab due to space limitations.
9. Remodeling and expansion at four schools (Tomahawk, South Middle, Hedgesville High, Martinsburg
High) will require re-cabling, during which fiber optic backbone and Layer II electronics will be installed.
10. All secondary schools have a limited number of computer labs. No school has one lab for each
grade or for each discipline. Computer lab usage must be shared and well scheduled.
11. Most schools have only a limited number of computers with Windows 9X/2000/XP operating
systems for administrative purposes.
12. All schools do not have computers in classrooms specifically for teachers. Some older models are
installed in faculty rooms, mainly for access to WVEIS.
13. The new intermediate school in the southern part of the county must be cabled, WVEIS/Internet
access installed, and hardware and software installed to meet the state standards.
