This presentation summarizes Matagorda ISD's progress using the Texas STaR Chart, which measures schools' technology integration. It discusses the four key measurement areas of the STaR Chart: teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership/support, and infrastructure. The presentation shows Matagorda Elementary's ratings over three years, starting in the "Early Tech" range and improving to "Developing Tech." It recommends continuing to align technology with curriculum and instruction so students are prepared for digital learning. The goal is helping students learn in a technology-rich environment.
