DODDRIDGE County Technology Plan 2004-2007 OPTIMAL Online Planning - Technology Integration Measures for Achievement and Learning Last revised on March 07, 2005 Page 1 of 28 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.

All schools will: *Promote a healthy life style. *Meet the needs of all students. *Prepare students for the future. *Advocate the importance of creative arts. *Provide a structure for community involvement. *Promote goal setting. *Provide a curriculum that allows for flexible choices. *Provide for individual differences. *Make learning fun. *Enhance positive attitudes toward school. County Mission: The Doddridge County School System shall provide learning environments that will meet the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional needs of all students three through twenty-one years of age while enhancing individual interests and talents to the maximum extent possible. Page 4 of 28 Needs Assessment Analysis of Assessment Data One of the three county schools did not meet Annual Yearly Progress for the 2003-2004 school year in the SES subgroups. Our goal is to decrease the number of students in the SES subgroups thus increasing the number of students who achieve mastery or higher on the 2005-2006 Westest. Technology Infrastructure After reviewing the Office of Technology and Information Systems' handbook and having Pomeroy and IBM's system analysis look at our schools infrastructure, we need to update Doddridge County Middle School's and Doddridge County Elementary School's network to meet current and future federal, state and local guidelines. Our goals are to update DCMS's network by removing all hubs and replacing them with switches in addition to rewiring the 5th and 6th grade wings of the building. The network at Doddridge County Elementary School is often bogged down when video is moved over the network. Our goal is to add a business switch. We will design and install a state of art network at the new Doddridge County High School. OEPA Reports Computers are located in every classroom in all of Doddridge County schools. However not all teachers are utilizing technoogy as a part oftheir instrucitonal program. Our goal is to provide staff development that emphasis technology integration within the content standards. County Wide Technology Skills & Staff Development According to the survey, teachers are in a great need of staff development that address skill level and integration of technology within the content standards. Our goal is to address staff development to provide necessary training according to staff needs.
