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)

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.

County Mission and Vision Statements
County Vision:
Wood County Schools will be a world class school system which prepares students to achieve success
in their careers, communities and personal lives.
County Mission:
The Mission of Wood County Schools is to provide a challenging educational environment where the
diverse talents, ideas and abilities of students can be developed to the fullest potential.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
Wood County Schools met Adequate Yearly Progress in 18 of 27 schools. Five elementary schools, 3
junior highs, and 1 high school did not make AYP. In general, the general problem for the schools that
did not make AYP centers around the special education sub-groups.
The BS/CE software can be aligned to provide focussed re-teaching in areas of skill deficiencies for all
elementary students. Additional training may be needed for teachers to take full advantage of the
software
capabilities. Other skills reinforcement software, such as Skills Bank and Read 180, should be used as
appropriate to strengthen skill deficiencies for secondary students.
Analysis of UCIP
First year WESTEST results indicate a need for prioritizing instruction in the core curriculum. The district
has begun an intensive multi-year initiative to focus instruction according to the priorities identified by
during teacher workgroups.
To support this initiative, the district will provide training and support on two technology tools; iKnow and
TestMate Clarity. These two tools will provide assistance in indentifying needy students and practice for
taking the WESTEST items.
Technology Infrastructure
The Digital Divide Survey results indicate a lower than expected ratio of students to computers. That is
mainly because schools were asked to only report computers running Windows 98 or newer. There are
many computers in our schools that are still running Windows 95. Those computers, as well as those
with Pentium II or older processors are targeted for replacement as funds permit.
School Satisfaction Survey
An employee survey conducted in November 2002 and focus groups conducted by the superintendent
with principals and central office administrators in July 2003 indicate the need for an increase in
interactive communication. Technology can assist with this communication need through an increase of
information presented on websites, the increased use of e-mail, and other web-based software.
OEPA Reports
County Technology Plan activities to address recommendations and noncompliances are listed in
parentheses beside the school name.
Emerson Elementary School - Recommendation - (Activities 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.4) Due to the
limited number of computers in the school and the lack of a computer laboratory, the Team
recommended that a schedule be devised to assure that every student has equal access to computers
and the basic skills program on a consistent basis. (5.10.8)
Edison J.H.S. – Noncompliance - (Activities 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.2.2, 1.2.4, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.4.1) The
Team observed students throughout the day working with textbooks, teacher lecture, worksheets, but
not on classroom computers. Technology usage was not being utilized throughout all programs of
Page 7 of 31
studies. (5.1.11)
Gihon Elementary School - Commendation - The school was commended for the direct computer
instruction that included basic knowledge, reteach activities, and accelerated reading. (5.1.11)
Jackson J.H.S. - Recommendation – (Activities 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.2.2, 1.2.4, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.4.1) The
Team recommended that the use of technology for instructional purposes be evaluated and. redirected
to ensure more efficient use of existing technology and for assurance of serving more. students.
(5.1.11)
Parkersburg H.S. - Commendation - The mathematics classroom was commended for the outstanding
use of technology. Graphing. calculators were being used in nearly all mathematics classrooms.
Calculus Advanced Placement classes utilized the Internet to obtain challenging problems. (5.1.11)
Parkersburg South H.S. - Recommendation - (Activities 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.2.4, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.4.1) The
Team recommended that appropriate software be provided for the utilization of computers as
instructional tools for reteaching. Many classroom computers were not turned on in the classrooms
throughout the. school. (5.1.11)
VanDevender J.H.S. - Noncompliance - (Activities 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.4.1,
1.4.4) At the time of observation, all classrooms equipped with computers were not being utilized by
students. Through classroom observations and interviews, the Team found a lack of technology usage
throughout all programs of study. (5.1.11)
5.1.8. Technology application. The computer laboratory was not fully utilized, several teachers could not
describe how they integrated technology into the curriculum and instruction, and the computer
component of the reading program was not operational.
Waverly Elementary School – Recommendation - (Activities 1.1.2, 1.1.4, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4) The
team recommended that available technology be repaired for better utilization. Computer repairs
needed to be addressed in a timely manner as students and faculty reported several computers were
broken. (5.1.11).
Facilities Assessment
All schools are now connected to WVEIS and the Internet by T1 lines. Site inspections indicate that a
number of 10 MB hubs are still in use in school networks, and that backbone upgrades may be needed
at some schools. Those will be targeted for replacement as funds permit.
