Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
This year we have increased the number of digital projectors to 6 and will be receiving more through PTA fundraising efforts in order to meet our goal for having one projector per grade level. We will also be ordering several document cameras (1 per grade level). We purchased several batteries for the COWS. They are currently running well, but we need more wireless capability due to the limited availability of the wireless routers. Classroom computers are in need of updating and replacement as they begin to expire. We would like to make use of Type to Learn software to meet our keyboarding instruction needs as many teachers feel that Custom Typing is not sufficient.

Staff Development Needs
A new online grading system will be integrated next year. Therefore, initial staff development will focus on making sure all teachers are proficient in its use. We will need to hold staff development sessions in order to familiarize teachers on the use of new technologies including digital projectors and document cameras. We also need to focus staff development towards integrating technology projects into the curriculum. This could come in the form of GT projects using research skills or other presentation projects using PowerPoint, spread sheets, Inspiration, Comic Life, etc.
Future Vision and Direction
We have a campus goal of increasing instruction and rigor in science. We will be looking to see how we can incorporate a
Technology aspect to this goal. We also continue to focus on integrating writing across the curriculum and supporting emerging and struggling readers, and increasing mathematical fluency. We will work toward seeking out software and online applications that could be used to support instruction in these areas.
