Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
(Brief summary describing current hardware/infrastructure issues/status.)
We need to increase the number of computers available for student use as well as expanding the computer labs and the library.
Acquire additional COWS for the campus.
Summary of most recent Campus STaR Chart Data
Most teachers do not feel confident in integrating technology into the curriculum. They do not use online learning activities as part of
their daily instruction. They still need training in using online lessons as part of their instruction

Staff Development Needs
(Brief summary based on STaR Chart results.)
The Star Chart results indicate a need for professional development in regards to the use of equipment and tech resources. Most of the
teachers need additional training with Class XP and Igpro.
Future Vision and Direction
(Brief statement describing where your campus would like to be in three years related to technology integration.)
In three years we would like the campus to have a wireless access. More computer labs available for teachers. We would also like to
have in place mounted ceiling projectors in each classroom, but most importantly, for teachers to be proficient in basic technology,
such as Igpro, Lotus Notes, SASI, PowerPoint, SEEDS, IFAS and Class XP.
We would also like to have more training for current teachers as well as new teachers in all areas of software, such as Atomic
Learning, United Streaming, and Safari-Montage. Motivate students in exploring through the use of the distance-learning lab.
Provide ongoing training throughout the year in campus or at district workshops
