What Do Our Students Need?
What are we doing as a district to have constancy in our technology?
•Each grade level has access to computers consistently throughout the day
•Every grade level has document cameras, projectors, Mobiboard and CPS systems
•Grades 5-8 have i-Pads that have been integrated into the Science curriculum
•Grades K-2 have i-Pods to use during Reading and Phonics
How is Technology Increasing Student Achievement in our district?
Before we implemented our technology integration students were scoring in the 50% on Achievement test. Now, students are scoring 60% or higher.
Aligning Standards with Technology Integration
What Does the research say?
Our high school students have improved their achievement tests every year since we implemented out technology program.
We are creating “thinkers”By implementing our technology program
students have: • increased their ability to solve complex
problems• become independent critical thinkers• have had an overall improvement in higher-
order thinking skills
What is our TCO?
Each year the program is costing less to invest and yielding higher test scores
How are we spending our Money?
Our Cost Saving Strategies• Planning and Managing- Providing Professional
Development• Reducing Complexity- Aligning Standards to
the technology integration• Increasing Reliability- Increasing Resources
a) Installed wireless• Providing User Support- Hired two
Technicians
Our technology program preparesstudents for the real world
Through our technology integration program we are giving them the tools to prepare for jobs that don’t even exist today.
Professional DevelopmentTechnology alone cannot improve test scores. Teachers need to be prepared for using the technology to enhance and transform their instructions.
