Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
1)
2)
3)
4)
We need a projector with a laptop for every teacher on campus in order to allow our faculty to integrate technology into
instruction. (Currently have about 8 projectors, and only about 5 have laptops.)
We need at least a second up-to-date set of COWs to meet the demands of each classroom teacher’s requirement to complete
technology TEKS each 9 weeks.
We need to increase number of student computers in classrooms.
We need a document camera for all teachers.

Each year during the staff development time before school begins a half day of inservice time is allotted to review all
current technology applications, resources, server access and heat ticket protocol.
Utilize campus shared drive for grade level and campus sharing.
Future Vision and Direction
In order to meet the technology TEKS we need a paid technology support person and a minimum of four sets of COWs. We need to
supplement our current inventory to provide a projector and a laptop in every classroom.
In order to meet the technology TEKS we need:
1)
A paid technology support person, a minimum of 2 sets of COWs and a dedicated computer lab.
2)
An identified funding source to replace existing computers when they expire
