Where Do We Go From Here?
The goal of all campuses is to be at the Target Tech Level.
Expected Outcomes:• To increase student learning and achievement• To increase the acquisition of and broaden the use of technology• To improve classroom record management and teacher productivity• To improve administration communication and school-management activities• To increase access to technology for parents and community members
Goals for Teaching and Learning
Teaching & Learning focuses on the instructional needs of teachers and the learning needs of students in meeting the vision of technology in education.
Goals to be addressed include:• To improve the academic achievement and
technology literacy of all students• A progressive implementation of the Technology
Academy will continue at the High School in order to improve instruction and learning and comply with the Technology Application TEKS Ch. 126
Goals for Educator Preparation and
DevelopmentEducator Preparation and Development addresses the staff development needs for all the members of the professional education community.
The primary goal to be addressed in this area includes:• To provide ongoing, sustained professional development for: teachers, principals, administrators, and school library media personnel to further the effective use of technology in the classroom and the library media center
Goals for Administration and Support Services
Administration and Support Services addresses the role of the technology leader to create a shared vision, encourage and sustain the appropriate integration of technology, use modern information technology tools to embrace accountability and hence use data for sound decision-making and continual assessment of effective technology for improving student learning.
Goals to be addressed include:• To provide supporting resources, such as services, software, other electronically delivered learning materials, and print resources, that will be acquired to ensure successful and effective uses of technology• To use technology effectively to promote parental involvement and increasecommunication with parents• Create a shared vision and encourage the appropriate integration of technology
Goals for Infrastructure for TechnologyInfrastructure for Technology focuses on hardware, software, and human infrastructure (the capabilities or proficiencies of those who use the technical components). The infrastructure of a school is the critical element of support for all four areas of the Long-Range Plan for Technology. This hardware—and the connecting peripherals such as the network connections and the resulting communications capabilities—enable the system to functionproperly. The infrastructure provides the foundation for software applications, computer programs such as graphics or spreadsheets, and the TEKS content.
The primary goals to be addressed in this area are:• Improve existing technology infrastructure in order to improve instruction, reducecost, increase access to technology and comply with the Child Internet ProtectionAct• To enforce a policy of Internet safety that includes measures to block or filtercontent for both minors and adults to certain visual depictions
Conclusion
Los Fresnos CISD is committed to providing its faculty, staff, and students with an integrated,
broadly-accessible, information, voice and video communications technology infrastructure so as to make information available to people who need it
when they need it and where they need it.
