Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
Our campus is experiencing an extremely high rate of growth. We are unable to sustain the addition of current technology for new
classrooms without additional funding. We need to continue to add laptop and desktop computers, printers, LCD projectors and
document cameras to new classrooms. Additionally, for the entire campus we would like to purchase more scanners, digital video and
still cameras, DVD burners, microphones and software, such as Adobe Premiere Elements, Typing program, keyboard covers, blank
CD/DVD, blank digital video tapes, batteries for digital cameras, batteries and battery chargers for video cameras, tripods, cases for
document cameras, cases for digital and video cameras, and replacement batteries for Dell laptop computers.

Staff Development Needs
Integrating technology use within all content areas. Training for teachers based on needs assessment of the faculty during the 20072008 school year to include: Computer 101, Kidspiration, Inspiration, Powerpoint and Slideshows. Teachers will collaborate and
plan within teams and across grade levels to implement new technology lessons. In order to assure all teachers have the opportunity to
attend training, four training days will be offered during teacher planning periods.
Future Vision and Direction
We hope to reestablish our computer lab and ensure that it remains a dedicated space for whole class technology learning. Long term,
we would like to secure funding for a part-time or full-time computer teacher on campus to provide continuity of skills among gradelevels and be a supportive facilitator of technology learning for classroom teachers and students with technology applications and
resources.
