Evaluator CommentsOur district has a
published technology
policy that detailsexpected practices,
rules and consequences
for students, teachers
and community
members.
Our technology policy is
comprehensive and
effective at encouraging
productive use of district
equipment and
resources.
Technology planning istaking center stage as
we prepare for a one-to-
one initiative at the high
school and implement a
one-to-one initiative at
the middle school.
Technology planning
and initiatives are taking
place at the
superintendent level.Technology initiatives
and expectations have
been communicated toindividual departments,
but further clarification
is often required.
Exceptions are not
always clear, not are the
reasons for some
initiatives. Certain
initiatives don't line up
with others.
Considerable budget
has been set aside for
the one-to-one laptop
initiative, but not asmuch thought has been
given to the eventual
need for upgrades. It is
unclear where money
for new machines will
come from once these
outlive their usefulness.

Technology costs are
accounted for in the
school budget in
multiple places.Paperless grading and
attendance is in place.
Other systems, such as
discipline, may go
paperless in the future,
but are still on a trial
basis.
iPass access is
available to all faculty,
staff, students, parents
and administrators.
Students use electronic
information resources
regularly, but more in
some situations than
others. Depending onwhich courses they
take, students may use
the internet daily, or
they may only do so on
extreme occasion.
Teachers are
encouraged to
implement electronic
resources, but not
always given specific
instruction on how to do
so.
Many and varied
resources are availablefor all students, faculty
and staff to use.
Teachers are
encouraged to assign
projects that require use
of technology, but not
much thought is paid to
the productivity gains
that electronic grading
offers. Electronic
grading is occasionally
mentioned, but rarelyimplemented.

Electronic assessments
are usually limited to
paper-style tests. Some
projects, such as
science labs, use other
methods of evaluation.Some classes depend
on technology more
than others for their
curriculum. Teachers
are encouraged to
consider multimedia
tools when creating their
assignments.Some technology is
available to all curricular
areas now, much more
will be available next
year as we move to thenew building and
students get their own
laptops.
Important parts of the
teacher's job, such as
grading and attendance,
are not possible without
technology.
All teachers have their
own laptops, which are
the same machine that
will be given to each
student next year.
Students only have
access to technology in
certain rooms, such as
the library and computer
labs. Next year they will
have laptops that will
stay with them.All students have
regularly access to
technology via the
library and other
communal resources,but the machines are
sometimes obsolete and
are too few in numbers.
Technology access will
improve when students
get their laptops next
year.

Procedures for the
implementation of the
one-to-one program are
still in development,
most of this is overseen
by a technology
committee and the
district head of
technology.
All groups have the
opportunity to be
represented on the
technology committee.
Administration is heavily
involved in planning for
the new building and
laptop rollout, as well as
with attempts to
integrate technology
into curriculum.A lot of administrative
time is dedicated to
preparing for the new
building and the new
technology that will
come with it.All teachers are
required to attend
technology-focused
professional
development sessions
weekly.Tech-focused
professionaldevelopment meetings
are held weekly and are
run by practicing
teachers who are
proficient with
technology.
Support staff are
available via email and
a ticketing system to
respond to tech support
requests.
Our IT department is
very helpful,knowledgable and
efficient.

Voice and video
communication services
are scheduled to be
available next year as
part of the technology
services in the new
building.
The current network is
limited, but the new
building's network will
be expandable and
feature rich.
No special features are
currently available via
district WAN.
All connections in the
building share a 100
Mbps connection.
Internet communicationand instruction occur
regularly, including use
of video and voice
services such as Skype.
Wired internet is
available everywhere in
the building, temporary
wireless networks have
been installed in some
areas as a holdover
while the new school is
being built. The new
building will havewireless internet
available in all locations.
All students are
assigned email
addresses, which are
used for assignments as
well as student/teacher
communication.
Email and other
services are available to
all students and staff via
Google Apps forEducation.

New technologies are
always available for
teachers to try and use.
Many teachers are
willing to experiment
with new idea and tech,
some others are content
to continue teaching the
way they have in the
past. Administration is
pushing teachers
toward embracing
technology.New implementations
occasionally run into
trouble - for example,
we have had issues
standardizing teacher
websites on one
platform. We triedMoodle last year, but
requirements weren't
clear and there wasn't
enough instruction for
teachers. The initiative
was eventually
abandoned, and now
teachers are asked to
create a website, but
not required to use a
specific platform.
Comprehensive
technology is availablein the form of
computers, but more
advanced tools will not
be available until next
year in the new building.
Advanced technology is
available and in use by
some teachers, but as a
staff we have not
reached our potential. A
lot more instruction is
necessary before themajority of teachers feel
comfortable enough
with technology to
integrate it in a more
comprehensive way.
