Campus Tech Support
We have a computer technician part of the day 3 days a week to help keep the equipment running and provide computer classes for
children during Prime Time a couple of times a week. Our school has received some used computers from a couple of organizations
that we have given to children to use at home. Through the facilitation of the ITRC most classes are using Easy Tech and students
have their user IDs and passwords. The ITRC trained the teachers in GradeSpeed this year. The teachers were provided a workshop
on DiscoveryEducation.com and using the enVision online math resources. They have been guided in accessing online books in the

classroom. Guidance was also given using AIMS. Teachers were given information through the Tech Cadre about their web pages,
the forum, and where to get technology information on line in AISD. The school is trying to get projectors and document cameras in
every classroom or at least one available for every team.
Future Vision and Direction
Three years from now you will see teachers using their laptops and innovation stations in presenting lessons that provide more video
information and more interactive rigorous lessons that students are actively engaged in. Students will be involved in using on line
resources, creating projects using computer software, video, cameras, and mp3 players. Teachers will use social networks to plan for
the classroom.
Campus Improvement Plan Alignment
Through the teacher and student use of more on line videos and interactive resources the bilingual students should broaden their
background knowledge, vocabulary, and strengthen their fluency rates in English. Through the use of more computer related student
created projects students will be involved in higher level thinking and learn to work cooperatively in learning and achieving higher
academic goals in reading, writing, math, and science.
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.
