Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
Hardware is sufficient, but aging. Classroom computers need to be replaced. Laptops are needed for each teacher. Additional
classroom computers are needed as well as access to-up-to-date response technology.
Summary of most recent Campus STaR Chart Data
We are very appreciative to our PTA for funding our tech person who we feel we cannot live without. Our teachers feel like the need
more staff development on how to make technology seamlessly fit into the curriculum.
Ratings are based on the following scale.
1=Early Tech
2=Developing Tech
3=Advanced Tech
4=Target Tech

Staff Development Needs
Teachers would like to have staff development in areas of integration of technology into the classroom. When computers were phased
into schools there were lots of workshops but now for elementary schools there are not as many to chose from.
Future Vision and Direction
In three years we would like to have seamless integration of computers and video for instruction. We want to have classroom
responder technology and Smart Boards. All EOL machines will have been replaced and computer to student ratio will be 1:3.
