The technology integration plan for Cedar Creek Elementary has four goals: 1. Create and communicate a campus vision for technology use by gathering input from teachers and developing a vision aligned with district and campus educational goals. 2. Provide effective leadership for integrating technology into the curriculum by holding family technology events and encouraging digital communication with parents. 3. Improve staff technology skills by reviewing performance data, ensuring understanding of technology terminology, and setting implementation goals. 4. Improve student achievement and teaching effectiveness through targeted technology training and using data to drive instruction with tools like interactive boards, assessment platforms, and classroom response systems.

1. Technology Integration PlanDistrict Technology Vision Statement:Bastrop Independent School District believes that: *Learning is a constructivist process where students create their own knowledge through active participation in complex, meaningful tasks. *Because the world is different today and because students are different today, the way schools educate students must also be different from what we have always done. *Technology is a powerful tool that can transform the educational process not only to support learners in solving problems, developing critical thinking skills, communicating ideas, and working collaboratively, but also to share student information and learning resources with parents so they continue their active role in the process. *The information explosion demands that we manage and communicate information effectively. *Advances in communication and transportation have increased global interdependence. Therefore, a need exists for cross-cultural cooperation and understanding facilitated through telecommunication technology. *Ongoing, individualized, high-quality, and accessible professional development for educators is imperative if technology is to be effectively used in the teaching/learning process. District Mission Statement:The mission of the school district is to ensure the academic success of all students by fostering a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.Implementation of District Technology Goals at Cedar Creek ElementaryTechnology Integration GoalsData Used to Identify NeedsPerson(s) ResponsibleProfessional DevelopmentEvaluation and/or AssessmentGoal 1: Create, communicate and effectively implement a campus vision for the use of technology.District Technology Plan, STaR Chart, Campus Improvement Plan, Texas Long Range Plan, needs assessment based on teacher surveyPrincipal, SBDM Committee, Technology Integration Guide1.
