PART 2
TECHNOLOGY ACTION PLAN
ECISD Technology Mission Statement“We are committed to enhancing the instructional delivery process with technology in all of our classrooms. The 3 Year Technology Integration Plan focuses on providing three key pieces of technology equipment to the teacher in the ECISD classroom; the laptop, the media projector, and the Interwrite Pad. We are currently aiming for at least a 5 year refreshing cycle for our laptops in the classrooms. All teachers receive training on the proper maintenance of their equipment in order to lengthen the life cycle of the equipment.” (http://www.ecisd.us, accessed Dec. 9, 2009)

Plan Goals
1. Increase the level of technology integration into the individual classroom.2. Increase the level of proficiency and awareness of the staff, in regards to instructional software and technology usage.3. Have a measureable increase in technology usage for collegial interaction and collaboration.

Professional Development
Spring 2010
Technology Department creates and conducts a technology survey. The results would determine level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) of staff. District would continue to provide training on basic computer functions and programs. (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Gradespeed and Attendance software)
Before the end of this school year, additional trainings would be provided for beginner and intermediate users to “close the gap” on the advanced users.
Technology Department works with staff identified as “advanced” to develop trainings for beginning of 2010-11 school year. Send these teachers off to specialized trainings to allow them to become trainers when they return.

Summer 2010
Advanced trainings continue for future trainers. Certain high need areas would recive a stipend for their summer training and subsequent teaching of the professional development session.

Fall 2010
Since all teachers have laptops, they would use them during the first technology in-service to review the information used in prior trainings (Spring 2010)
Second technology in-service phase would involve the new trainers. They would lead their selected professional training session, allowing teacher the opportunity to try and use the programs they are explaining on their laptops. This will allow for immediate feedback and peer teaching as they develop and use the new programs.
Principal will implement a mandatory requirement that students turn in at least one assignment per grading period electronically. This could be done through an online teacher-managed blog, or via email. Documentation of this would be required of all teachers.

EvaluationThere are several ways to evaluate if the goals of this initiative are being met, both at the campus level as well as at the district level.
Using the survey given at the beginning, and retaking it a year later, the comparison of level advancement of staff.
Evaluate the STaR Chart results and determine if the campus/district has advanced in its ratings. Our campus ratings needed the most improvement in teacher training.
Technology Department can check the “meter” for bandwidth usage by teachers and students.
Administration must include technology and how the students are engaged during their weekly campus walk-throughs.
Campus Technology coordinator needs to walk through classrooms to see how technology is being used by the students.
