Notas do Editor
- This is the technology plan for the Dimmitt Independent School District. We are a small 2A school located in the Texas Panhandle.
- Our current technology plan was approved by the Texas Education Agency in April 2009 for 3 years. 3 years is the maximum time for which a plan will be approved. An approved technology plan is a requirement to receive funds from E-rate.
- The district has made a serious financial commitment to provide students and teachers with best technology available, given budgetary constraints. Most of the funds available come from various federal funding sources, including e-rate. The yearly technology expenditure is just over $935 per student. All campuses and classroom have internet connections.
- A yearly comprehensive needs assessment is done for technology, in conjunction with the needs assessments of all programs. While the existing technology levels are adequate for the present time, there are identified needs that must be met in order to continue to provide the students and staff with cutting edge technology. The prioritized needs include integrating the Technology TEKS in all grades K-8; replacing and upgrading all hardware, software, network infrastructure, and to provide cost effective telecommunications.
- The goals for the district were determined by surveys of students, staff, and parents and community members. The goals were also written to address NCLB requirements, E-rate statutes, and needs assessments. Goal 1 is……
- Goal 2….
- Goal 3….
- Goal 4….
- The district is not a wealthy district, and depends heavily on federal funding. We could not provide the level of telecommunications we have if not for E-rate funding. The yearly budget, including Internet access, is about $355,000.
- Yearly program evaluations are vital to continual improvement. All stakeholders participate in the evaluation, which include gathering data from various sources including student work samples and assessments, interviews, as well as meeting goals set in the District and Campus Improvement Plans. All teachers and administrators complete the STaR chart yearly in order to assess their levels of technology proficiency. Inventories are conducted each spring to ascertain levels of various technology hardware and software needs.
- The Texas Long-Range plan for technology is designed to promote academic excellence. The plan is divided into four areas-teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, leadership, administration and instructional support, and infrastructure. Our local plan addresses the areas of teaching and learning, integrating technology into the curriculum and infrastructure. We need more emphasis on the leadership and administration area in our local plan in order to better align with the Texas state plan.
- The Federal government issued a long-range technology plan, entitled “Learning Powered by Technology. This is an ambitious plan, and great care must be taken in order to meet and finance all of the goals.
- There are five main goals of the federal technology plan, which include engaging and empowering students and teachers, measuring what matters, redesigning and transforming technology education, preparing and connecting students, ensuring the students have access to all levels of technology, enabling the students to reach high standards of learning. It is hopeful that the government will continue to support technology education on a national level, and ensure all students have equitable technology access.
- I believe there are two areas of the federal plan that may have a great impact on our local district. The first area is productivity, which supports the rejection of the idea of all students must be in class a certain number of minutes and days, regardless of their unique strengths or needs. The plan encourages flexible grouping, based on need rather than age, and time arrangements that are individually determined. The second area is in the actual teaching practice of solo teaching. The plan supports team teaching and collaboration, and encourages the use of Professional Learning Communities, facilitated by the Internet and networking.
- The Children’s Internet Protection Safety Act was enacted to protect children from inappropriate Internet site. While some may consider filtering an infringement on student rights, most educators agree that some level of filtering is essential.
- Although the federal government does require filtering, it cautions against over-zealous filtering, and does not give guidance on appropriateness of specific sites.
- Information systems offer many of the best uses of the Internet. The advent of Web 2.0 tools allows for independent users to collaborate, add content and edit the web, connect socially and professionally through networking, allows for education to take place 24/7 and in any location, and has brought people together from all over the world that would have had no chance to collaborate or communicate without them.
