Campus Tech Support
Our campus has a full time paid Technology Facilitator/ITRC and a part time technology assistant. The ITRC plans with all the grade
level teams to integrate technology into the core curriculum. The students and teachers have lab instruction weekly to apply the lesson
plans. The teachers and children have access to the server to continue their work on the projects. The ITRC is also manager of the
campus “help desk,” the Webmaster, Gradespeed contact, and trainer for district technology initiatives. The part time technology
assistant helps to troubleshoot campus technology issues. If we are unable to manage the hardware concerns, we rely on the district
help desk for assistance.
Future Vision and Direction
We will see our campus teachers using their laptops on a regular basis to collaborate, create, and communicate. We will see our
teachers utilizing document cameras in their teaching to provide visual aid and hands on instruction for students. As the multimedia
innovation systems are placed into rooms, the teachers will use the technology to enhance teaching and learning. Parents will access
the online gradebook and other resources for information about their child.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
Objective 1.8 will support our CIP goals of utilizing effective writing strategies through digital applications. Goal 2 will support our
CIP goal for HQ Staff by supporting staff development opportunities.
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
