The technology action plan outlines the roles and responsibilities for integrating technology at Hackney Primary school. It establishes a flow chart with the Technology Director overseeing administrative, technical, and instructional staff who are responsible for maintaining hardware and software, providing training, and supporting teachers. Teachers are responsible for classroom technology integration and can submit trouble tickets. Goals include updating the technology plan and using assessments and data to drive instructional needs. Staff development focuses on training teachers to use new tools and strategies to incorporate technology into lessons to improve skills. Progress will be evaluated through meetings, data analysis, and classroom observations.

beginning January 2010. Use data taken from these assessments, current district
assessments, and student portfolios to help drive instructional and technology
needs.
Curriculum:

skills through cooperative learning and research-based approaches.
• Classroom technology will be used to enrich and extend critical thinking and
learning.

technology to provide web training. Teachers will be able to access this training
at their convenience. Principal will receive e-mail conformation once teacher

PreKindergarten and Technology Training
According to week 3 report, Hackney Primary is weak in the use of technology across
the board. Instructional Specialist will research effective ways to incorporate and
integrate technology into the current district curriculum and district initiatives.
Planning will be based upon the current planning schedule. Instructional specialist
will incorporate these new technology strategies into the current weekly planning
meetings to show the ease of integrating technology into PreKindergarten learning.
Should any training be conducive to web based training, Instructional Specialist will
work with technology department to have this training link on the campus staff page.
Instructional Specialist will create a campus blog. The blog will be through the
School Fusion website and linked to our campus page. Staff only will have access to
this blog. The blog will be used in ways to engage staff in current technology use in a
non-threatening environment.
Instructional Specialist will also look for current ways teachers are using technology
and ask them to share with the staff during weekly planning meetings.
Other Professional Development

goals.
• Visit Stephen F. Austin Early Childhood Charter School and Research Center
to observe how technology is incorporated into their classrooms.
• Provide session explaining what and why the STaR is important to every
classroom teacher, campus, and district.
Evaluation:
• Meet with campus technology committee and site-based committee twice yearly
to review and update technology plan. During this time the committee will also
ensure that the technology plan is aligned with the district and campus
improvement plans.
• Use local staff development day to analyze data provided from Teachscape,
district assessments and student portfolios to ensure student success and
determine areas of weakness.

4. • Yearly review with all stakeholders the results of the current STaR chart. Provide
open discussion and dialogue, allowing all to have a voice.
• Utilize written feedback from weekly planning meetings to determine what
actions to continue and what actions to eliminate.
• Conduct walk-throughs in order to observe integration of technology in the
classroom.
