Instructional Technology Implementation Plan
2009-2010
The Campus Technology Committee has developed this Technology Plan. It is
aligned with the Austin ISD Technology Plan and the State Long Range Plan for
Technology and our Campus Improvement Plan. The strategies focus on goals and
objectives related to Teaching and Learning and Educator Staff Development
specifically related to the use of technology.

Campus Tech Support
Our campus does not have a paid campus tech. The ITRC and other staff volunteer on the Technology Committee to support campus
technology. We also rely on our district tech to help out.
Future Vision and Direction
Three years from now at Andrews, you will see teachers using their laptops on a regular basis to collaborate, create, assess students,
and communicate. Teachers will regularly use their teacher web site and other online tools to keep parents and students informed.
Parents will regularly access the online gradebook and other resources for information about their child. Classrooms will have
integrated multimedia systems with document cameras and other interactive tools. All curriculum resources will be available online.
Andrews would like to have teachers fully trained in technology and applications that they can use to enhance instruction. This
includes the use of the district-funded databases for research, the use of online resources to enhance student understanding of
concepts, and the use of applications such as KidSpiration, PowerPoint, and Animoto to improve their writing and presentation skills.
We would like to see enough presentation hardware (digital cameras, video projectors, laptops, video cameras, etc.) for teachers to
routinely and seamlessly use these technologies as part of daily instruction. We would like to be able to evaluate software and access
it in web-based forms to enhance the learning of students with applications that are more than worksheet on a screen.
The Star Chart Profile indicates our school is at the developing tech level on the scale, but that student mastery is limited. The profile
indicates that the areas of focus are enhancing teachers’ ability to access the technology provided by the district and also providing the
training needed to be able to feel comfortable in using these technology applications. We also need to focus on the student technology
literacy skills
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
One of our goals this year is for students to score 25% higher on the TechLiteracy Assessment. We want our teachers to increase the
use of technology in their classroom as well as students using technology to learn and teach others.

The following goals and objectives are taken from the Austin ISD District Technology Plan. Campuses will focus on four objectives
from Goal 1 and.four objectives from Goal 2.. Campuses may choose to include additional objectives in their Campus Tech Plan. The
entire Austin ISD Technology Plan is available for review.
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.
Objective 1.3: Use digital diagnostic tools for formative evaluation to monitor progress toward the mastery of instructional
objectives. Integrate student performance data from district/state assessment instruments with electronic
curriculum resources to inform and differentiate instruction for every child.
Objective 1.5: Provide curriculum to ensure personal safety for students in a digital world and Acceptable Use Policies that
specify expectations and rules for students, parents, and teachers.
Objective 1.8: Utilize innovative strategies for the delivery of the foundation curriculum to meet the diverse and personal
learning needs of all students.
Goal 2: Educator Preparation and Development
Educator Preparation and Development addresses the staff development needs not only of teachers but of all the members of the
professional education community
Objective 2.1: Provide professional development for teaching and integrating Technology Applications into the foundation and
enrichment TEKS.
Objective 2.2: Support teachers in developing classroom websites and online resources to share lessons, monitor student
progress, and establish regular communication with parents and students.
