The STaR Chart is a self-assessment tool used by Texas schools to evaluate their progress in four key areas related to technology readiness based on the state's long-range technology plan. Schools can measure where they fall between early, developing, advanced or target levels of technology integration. The presentation summarizes one school's results which showed advanced levels in three areas but developing levels in educator preparation and development, suggesting a need to improve access to online learning and technology integration staff development.
