Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
This year we met our goal of having one projector per grade level. In combination with PTA fundraising and district funding, our
current goal is to have one document camera per grade level. We are currently using the updated COWs with the wireless service
installed at our campus this year. Classroom computers are in need of updating and replacement as they begin to expire. We would
like to continue to seek out a typing program that is applicable to all our age groups. We are currently using bbc.co.uk/schools/typing
for the younger group and customtyping.com for the older grade levels.

Campus Tech Support
Our campus does not have a paid campus tech. The ITRC and other teachers volunteer to support campus technology and we rely on
the district techs to help.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
We are implementing a campus website in the following year. Our goals is to have all staff members become familiar with it and
support their usage of the website to communicate with our community. In the next few years we would like to build our campus’s
use of blogs, wikis, and teacher websites to bridge our learning with our community to other learning communities. Our teachers will
learn to set up their AISD teacher webpage and update it at least one a semester. If they already have a website or a blog, they will
post a link to it on their AISD teacher webpage. This will align with our CIP goal of increasing effective communication with parents
and community members.
Future Vision and Direction
All staff received new laptops this year. Therefore, initial staff development will focus on making sure all teachers are proficient in its
use. We also worked with PTA and district funding to meet our goal of one projector and one document camera for each grade level.
We will need to hold staff development sessions in order to familiarize teachers on the use of new technologies including digital
projectors and document cameras. We also need to focus staff development towards integrating technology projects into the
curriculum. This could come in the form of GT projects using research skills or other presentation projects using PowerPoint, spread
sheets, Inspiration, Brainpop, United Streaming, Comic Life, etc.
Future Vision and Direction
We have a campus goal of increasing instruction and rigor in academic vocabulary. We will be looking to see how we can incorporate
a Technology aspect to this goal. We also continue to focus on integrating writing across the curriculum, science and supporting
emerging and struggling readers, and increasing mathematical fluency. We will work toward seeking out software and online
applications that could be used to support instruction in these areas. We will use programs adopted by the district like envision math
technology to support our programs.
