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
Pease does not have a paid campus technician. The ITRC volunteers to support campus technology and we rely on the district
technicians to help. While the ITRC is always willing to help teachers with technology, she is also a full time classroom teacher. All
technology help is completed in her spare time during her planning time or after school and on weekends. It is very difficult to meet
the needs of the campus in a timely manner.
Future Vision and Direction
In three years, two thirds of our classrooms will be equipped with integrated multimedia systems with document cameras and other
interactive tools. Elementary teachers will be comfortable and proficient in the integration of technology across the core content areas.
All teachers will use their laptops on a daily basis. Teachers will regularly update their teacher web pages to keep parents and students
informed. Every teacher will commit to frequent use of learning.com in particular and district sponsored websites and databases in
general. All teachers will access library computer catalog and district library databases in classrooms on a regular basis. Students will
investigate the various information sources available online, and learn to choose the most reliable and authoritative ones. The primary
grades will focus on basic skills to build a strong technology foundation. Students in grades 3 – 6 will learn to keyboard proficiently.
All grade levels will have the opportunity to integrate media into the written word, achieving mastery of this process by the end of 6th
grade. The combined efforts of faculty and students will enrich learning and demonstrate technological solutions to real world
problems.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
One of our goals this year is for teachers to design a classroom technology plan that implements at least one integrated lesson per 9
weeks. Students will produce at least one technology product per quarter. Our CIP calls for improved student achievement in literacy,
math, science, and social studies. The technology integration will include lessons in all subject areas. Our second goal is to have every
teacher set up a teacher webpage and update it at least once a quarter. If teachers 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.
The following goals and objectives are taken from the Austin ISD District Technology Plan. Campuses will focus on four objectives

Pease Elementary
Department of Instructional Technology
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.

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.
Objective 2.5: Provide training on the use of electronic tools and information to support sound, data-driven instructional
