IDEA Public Schools Technology Plan: 2009 - 2010 https://www.sedl.org/cgi-bin/mysql/eplan/eplan.cgi?l=reportopt... Executive Summary The IDEA Public Schools system has increased in population from 150 students on a single campus in 2000 to a projected district population of ---5200--- for fall of 2009 and it continues to expand. The plan includes the creation of one new site: San Juan and the addition of grade levels to the existing sites: Brownsville, Mission, San Benito and McAllen. IDEA Public Schools believes in technology as a real-world tool for developing student capacity to thrive in the digital age. This technology plan articulates our vision for technology and identifies the strategies that will help us use advanced technology to improve the academic achievement of our students and develop critical thinking skills that are essential for academic and workplace success. Background This plan is based on information drawn from many sources including: -A review of the literature to identify best practices -An inventory check of all school sites' hardware and instructional media -School site meetings -Technology plans from other districts -Results of the Texas Star Chart -Results of campus surveys -Results of other assessments of technology use and ability Parameters This Long-Range Technology Plan is driven by the state curriculum standards and supports the educational mission and instructional goals of IDEA Public Schools and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Specific attention is given to addressing student standards for technology as defined by the Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) required in Texas Education Code Section 28.002. The Technology Applications TEKS found in 19 TAC Chapter 126 describe what students should know and be able to do using technology. As a part of the enrichment curriculum, these TEKS are to be used as guidelines for providing instruction. The goal of the Technology Applications TEKS is for students to gain technology-based knowledge and skills and to apply them to all curriculum areas at all grade levels. The plan stresses the importance of ongoing and sustained staff development in the integration of technology into the curriculum for teachers, principals, administrators, and school library media personnel to further the effective use of technology in the classroom or library media center. It is also consistent with the recommendations for LEAs as defined by the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology in the areas of Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Administration and Support Services, and Infrastructure for Technology, as well as the e-rate applications guidelines, and other state standards, such as the newly adopted Technology Applications Standards for Beginning Teachers. 4 of 40 12/1/09 10:54 AM

IDEA Public Schools Technology Plan: 2009 - 2010 https://www.sedl.org/cgi-bin/mysql/eplan/eplan.cgi?l=reportopt... Needs Assessment Assessment Process: A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing surveys, interviews, LOTI , inventories and the Texas Campus STaR Chart was conducted to analyze the current status of technology in the district and determine future needs. Items analyzed included: infrastructure, hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources, staff development, and technical support. Findings from this needs analysis are as follows. Existing Conditions: The following technology is currently in place: IDEA Academy and IDEA Academy College Prep Campuses Connection to the Internet via 20MB fiber connection. A 10MB line was added to provide dedicated support for video conferencing equipment. Campus data servers in place providing district information, email, and student work. Web Content filtering of 100% of district computers are managed at the district level as well as SPAM and antivirus scanning for all email. All Mac OSX computers (88.2% of campus total) are connected to central file server to establish a client/server environment in which students can access their work from any workstation on campus. Network applications are run from central servers. Written policies are in place on acceptable use of the Internet, World Wide Web content, and the local network. Technology classes are offered and include, Technology Applications (6-7), Computer Literacy (8th grade), digital graphics and animation, and desktop publishing (HS). Networked online library system, Digital Knowledge Central subscription (include DKC databases and Encyclopedia Britannica online), and automated checkout in the Donna library. A laptop computer with wireless access for every teacher. 48 Video Data Projectors available for teacher sign-out. Telecommunications Services Currently, all students and staff members in the school have access to the Internet, through a direct connection. The campus LAN has a combination of fiber backbone and wireless running between each building with a minimum of Enhanced Cat 5 cable connecting each classroom. Inventory The latest inventory of current technology available for student use at IDEA Academy as of December, 2008 is given in the chart below. Only current, non-obsolete (iMac G3 or better, at least 128MB RAM; network-capable) student computers are listed. The list does not include administrative computers or file servers. Student to computer ratio of 6:1 (5200 students, 870 computers) Campuses in Mission and San Benito will be expanding their facilities to new buildings. A new campuses will be created in San Juan. This campus will be will be wired with infrastructure for Internet/Telecommunications and hardware. New campuses opened in the Fall of 2008. These campuses were wired for Internet/Telecommunications or hardware. Technology Needs: Needs for IDEA District: Teacher and staff feedback and internal assessments of technology use patterns indicate the following as the highest areas of need: 1. Professional Development: Based on campus surveys and staff feedback, the single greatest need is still for ongoing professional development to maximize appropriate use of technology to increase student achievement and teacher productivity. 5 of 40 12/1/09 10:54 AM

IDEA Public Schools Technology Plan: 2009 - 2010 https://www.sedl.org/cgi-bin/mysql/eplan/eplan.cgi?l=reportopt... The professional development needs to be based on growth plans to ensure that all teachers can show increases in proficiency. Training needs to be offered in a variety of formats including online, small group, and/or one on one. 2. Additional Software: Instructional software and Content Specific Software (graphing, reading, math, etc.) 3. Increased access to classroom Hardware; Classroom Printers, additional Data projectors, Content Specific Hardware, and Instructional Hardware. 4. Additional computer labs and classroom computer. Note: Due to rapid school expansion and new construction, an additional need is to provide adequate infrastructure and computer hardware for the new additions. Needs for San Juan, San Benito and Mission Campuses: The needs for these startup and expanding campuses will be for basic infrastructure to implement the same type of technology capacity as the campuses in Donna, McAllen, and Brownsville. This includes the following: 1. Establish a basic network infrastructure that will provide connectivity within the campus and to the other campuses in the district. 2. Establish telecommunication services for all new campuses. 3. Establish Internet services. 4. Acquire maintenance and upgrade services for the above mentioned services. 5. Equip teachers, students, and administrators with access to appropriate campus hardware. 6. Sustainable technology professional development. 6 of 40 12/1/09 10:54 AM

IDEA Public Schools Technology Plan: 2009 - 2010 https://www.sedl.org/cgi-bin/mysql/eplan/eplan.cgi?l=reportopt... Evaluation Evaluation Process: The IDEA Public Schools Technology Plan will be reviewed annually by our District Technology Committee and other groups representative of the organization and its leadership. This collected data will help us steer our technology program and make necessary Technology Plan adjustments. The Texas STAR chart, additional technology assessment tools, and SBEC Technology Standards for beginning teachers will be consulted throughout evaluation process. Evaluation Method: Technology Integration into curriculum and instruction and impact on the learning process will be evaluated using 4 major tools/media. 1.Students knowledge of technology and their ability to use it to increase learning will be measured by their completion of the TA TEKS correlated lessons and subsequent projects found in the online Tech Apps curriculum. 2.Their knowledge will be further demonstrated by their completion of an electronic portfolio that showcases their work. Correlations between technology applications and core content learning will be embedded in this portfolio. This portfolio will be published on our Intranet for others to view. 3. Participation in technology staff development opportunities is recommended as an evaluation item for teachers. Online staff development will be supplemented to local staff development as determined by feedback from staff and identified local needs training. 4. Teachers are encouraged to complete a class web page that features samples of their technology teaching. These web pages will also be posted for viewing by staff members, parents, students, and community on the district website and act as a communication tool for our school for best practices in tech integration. The Technology IT Director meets monthly with Campus Principals to convey status of working projects. A yearly schedule of technology and telecom deployments is established and will be revisited monthly to assess if timelines need adjusting. The Educational Technology Coordinator meets monthly with principals to confirm staff development needs for each campus, and provides feedback from observations of tech integration practices as well as acting as an instructional coach and support resource for teachers. IDEA Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of sex, disability, race, color, age, or national origin in its educational programs, activities, or employment as required by Title IX, Section 504 and Title VI. 40 of 40 12/1/09 10:54 AM
