Sanchez Elementary School Department of Instructional Technology Sanchez Elementary School 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.

The ITRC is an Innovation Station Teacher Trainer. Future Vision and Direction In the next three years, Sanchez would like to have its students meet or exceed AISD’s 5th grade technology application competencies on entry into middle school. To be able to do this the teachers at Sanchez will be committed to the following: All students in K – 5th grade will be using learning.com on a weekly basis, with direct, whole-class technology instruction, while integrating technology into instruction in all core content areas All Sanchez teachers will be knowledgeable of the school district’s technology IPGs for their respective grade levels and succeed in implementing them Sanchez teachers are skilled in the use of campus multimedia equipment, including computer projectors, digital cameras, camcorders, scanners, and CD/DVD burners Innovation Station teachers will share ideas and team members so that all teachers on campus are benefiting from the latest technology integration techniques In managing student computer time in both the classroom and computer lab, teachers strike an appropriate balance between (1) technology instruction and (2) applying technology skills to creation of curriculum-related computer products. Teachers manage students’ computer time wisely – unsupervised, non-instructional “free time” is discouraged in both the classroom and computer lab Students will reach an independent level of age-appropriate skills in using all types of technology – keyboarding, knowledge of basic computer workings and associated vocabulary, word processing, spreadsheet usage, data base applications, web design, and publishing, e-mail, video conferencing, podcasts, web cameras, as well as the use of peripherals, such as cameras, both still and video, scanners, printers, and memory devices. iMovie and iPod productions will be demonstrated at a level appropriate for grade level and age. Use of tape recorders, digital recorders, overhead projects, document cameras, televisions, projectors, and CD/DVD players and burners, microphones and amplifiers will be used routinely for students to access learning. Sanchez will provide teachers with appropriate resources and staff development to raise its STaR Chart ratings in those areas currently described as “early” or “developing”. Campus Tech Plan 2009-2010 5 of 11 Sanchez Elementary School Department of Instructional Technology Campus Improvement Plan Alignment Critical thinking skills and inquiry will be explicitly taught throughout the curriculum, and particularly emphasized in Science and Math classes. By focusing on these skills in the use of technology, teachers and students will have a broader range of opportunities to meet Goal 5: At the Campus Level, Ensure That There are No Achievement Gaps Among Groups. 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. 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. Objective 1.5: Provide curriculum to ensure personal safety for students in a digital world and Acceptable Use Policies that 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.
