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
13 of 14 schools met AYP.
All schools will be trained on the TestMate program to analyze the data from WESTEST.
Weaknesses for the county are in the areas of Special Education and Low SES students.
Analysis of UCIP
Digital Divide data and general awareness of school needs by school and county administrators are
constantly used to assess and plan improvements for school technology. For instance, the remaining 7
schools without T1 lines have had those ordered. Migration of the remaining three schools from old
LMS Josten's to Compass is planned and some equipment has already arrived as of Nov. 2004.
Classroom computers that become obsoleted by software needs are replaced on anas-needed basis
with late model refurbs purchased for this purpose from general funds.
Technology Infrastructure
Digital Divide Survey indicates that Randolph Co. has a slightly better student-to-computer ratio than the
state average. Harware resources and infrastructure are in reasonably good condition. The overriding
need is to finish converting all schools from Token Ring to Ethernet. THis is being addressed now.
Since last year, George Ward Elem., Elkins High, and Jennings Randolph Elem. have been changed to
ethernet.
OEPA Reports
The only technology non-compliance in the last OEPA report was Harman school, lack of technology
integration. Since that time we have installed a new mobile wireless SUCCESS lab. Plans have now
been made for a second mobile wireless lab for Basic Skills. (No room in the school for a traditional
lab). Harman's Principal is supporting continuing efforts to improve teachers' technology skills and
increase their comfort level. One workshop was held at the school on Dec.4, 2003.
