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. The presence of a dedicated tech support person on campus (i.e., not a classroom teacher) would better meet
the needs for immediate help with technology issues as they arise.
Future Vision and Direction
Three years from now at Linder Elementary School, you will see teachers using their laptops on a regular basis to collaborate, create
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.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
Our teachers will learn to set up their AISD teacher webpage and update it at least once 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.
