Staged narrative photography
This document discusses the concept of an "enigma code" in photography. An enigma code presents an unsolved mystery or question to the audience that sparks their interest and imagination. In narrative photography, the single frame image provides clues but does not fully solve the narrative, leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions about what happened or will happen. Successful narrative photography provides just enough information to allow the audience to relate the image to their own experiences while leaving room for interpretation.

Star chart presentation
STaR Charts are used in Texas to assess schools' technology readiness and proficiency in four key areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership and infrastructure. Data shows that Tice Elementary has maintained a developing level of proficiency, with teacher-directed instruction and limited student access to technology. While teachers are expected to use technology, it is mainly for administrative tasks. Infrastructure provides each educator a computer and digital connectivity in most rooms. The conclusion calls for increased professional development and targeting the highest proficiency level to prepare for 21st century learners' needs.
STaR Presentation
The document discusses the findings of a Texas STaR chart analysis conducted at a campus in 2011-2012. It summarizes that the campus has an Advanced Tech classification in key areas related to teachers focusing on connecting technology to students' lives, and having leadership model effective tech use and expectations. However, it is Developing Tech in creating information rich settings, and has opportunities to improve staff development initiatives to better prepare teachers to use technology as a tool for learning rather than a novelty.

Texas s ta r chart presentation
The document summarizes the Texas STaR Chart, which is used to evaluate progress towards technology goals. It was developed around four key areas from the Long-Range Plan for Technology. The Texas Teacher and Campus STaR Charts help teachers determine professional development needs based on an educational technology profile and provide data to evaluate technology use and funding. Results from Emiliano Zapata Elementary for 2009-2010 show developing technology in teaching/learning and educator preparation, and advanced technology in leadership/infrastructure and infrastructure for technology. While some progress has been made, more work remains to fully integrate technology into teaching and learning.
