I think Mexia ISD’s technology plan is great. They have encompassed all four areas of the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology in setting up their plan.
Our district technology plan has four goals:
- Increase student learning and achievement through the seamless integration of technology into instruction in learning and teaching across the curriculum.
- Provide district-wide staff development programs to ensure effective use of emerging technologies with emphasis on instructional programs.
- Support the district-wide technology implementation and use through campus level planning, adequate staff and appropriate budgeting.
- Support instructional and administrative goals by providing and maintaining an adequate communication infrastructure, network connectivity, hardware, and software.
Strategies include maintaining subscriptions to software used by teachers, staff, and students; teachers incorporating more technology into their instruction; and students using technology to complete assignments. Other strategies include setting up a sub-committee of the Technology Committee to help with campus coordination and setting up an Adult continuing education program (GED) access to the lab as well as upgrading, replacing, or purchasing equipment to upgrade the infrastructure.
Professional development opportunities will include teachers completing the PD 21 courses, training teachers to create and use websites, and workshops.
The evaluation process will include the STaR Chart results to assess progress and a subcommittee of the Technology Committee evaluating the Plan four times a year. Some of the evaluation methods include monitoring of district web pages, staff members taking part in technology staff development, and yearly formal survey needs assessment of the staff regarding the technology in their classrooms.
