Executive Summary

Spencer County Elementary School understands the importance and need for Technology use, upgrades, and advancements in education. This technology plan attempts to include influences all areas and aspects of the elementary school. We look forward to the continual implementation and use of new technology. We plan on replacing work stations, especially the 30 student stations in the media computer lab which are older and in immediate need of replacement. Teacher work stations were updated summer of 2012. However, classrooms only have, at most, two workstations available for students.  It is our intent to provide more access to technology for our students through workstations (virtual platforms) and portable devices.  This is a continuing process to implement a plan for successful technology use in the classroom. 

Planning Process / Methodology 

The technology committee’s role is to give guidance to school level infrastructure needs and future needs. The committee will be tasked with evaluating the goals met and unmet by completion of this technology plan. Technology committee shall meet at least three times per school year. It is planned for the first meeting to take place during the first grading period of the school year. The second shall take place during the month of January. The third shall take place during the final grading period of the school year. Additional meetings may take place if committee so chooses. The committee will continue to develop a list of wants and needs for the elementary school. With the addition of a Specialist (District TRT) in implementing technology in the classroom, the school should be getting innovative ideas for the use of present and future technology. 

Technology Vision and Goals 

Increase the availability and use of technology in the classroom by students and teachers.  Provide teachers with the adequate support in order to utilize the use of technology as a means to enhance student achievement through teaching our students to use technology efficiently and effectively during class and independently.  

Making sure each teacher has a fully functional set of technology equipment while also providing them with the support in order to allow teachers to be proficient using technology in the classroom. 

Maintain and advance the technology in all areas of Spencer County Elementary School. 

Implement and increase the use of mobile and personally owned devices (BYOD initiative) to increase the level and efficiency of technology usage for bettering the students’ education.  To create a technology facility that will allow all students an opportunity to learn outside of Spencer County Elementary School. 

Goal 1
Prepare and implement the technology plan for Spencer County Elementary School.  Build upon the present level and use of the current technology in place at SCES and increase the availability and usage of technology. 

Action Plan: Strategies/Activities
Strategy/Activity | Begin Date | End Date | Cost | Funding Source | Instructional Outcome
Write the technology Plan. Receive input from all parties listed. | 6/01/13 | 5/30/14 | Time | SCES | Instructional Program Planning.
Knowledge of location and availability of SCES technology. | 8/1/13 | 5/30/14 | Time | SCES | Teacher planning for technology integration will be more efficient and lessons are based on the available technology.
Students use the available technology to complete assignments. | 8/1/13 | 5/30/14 | Time | SCES | Students have working technology available.
Provide more technology and make it available for student use.  Technology to be purchased will be virtual computer generating equipment such as NComputing and portable devices for student use such as IPads, Thinkpads, Kindle Fires, mini-IPads, laptops, etc…. | 8/1/13 | 5/30/14 | $80,000 | KETS funds; school activity funds | More available technology for student usage will create a learning environment where technology integration will be the mainstay for SCES.
Provide replacement projector bulbs, at a minimal, with a phasing for newer projector models. | 8/1/13 | 5/30/14 | $20,000 | school activity funds; SBDM funds | More available projectors for utilizing and creating a learning environment where technology integration will be the mainstay for SCES.

Goal 2
Teachers will learn to use the available technology more efficiently for instruction, projects, lessons, and resources. Student instruction and work is designed around using the available technology. Our goal is to continue to use the Technology Integration Specialist in learning how to use technology more effectively in the classroom.
Action Plan: Strategies/Activities
Strategy/Activity | Begin Date | End Date | Cost | Funding Source | Instructional Outcome
Teachers plan lessons using available technology. | 7/01/13 | 5/30/14 | Time | SCES | Teachers use technology more effectively during instruction.
Teachers implement the suggestions given by the Technology Integration Specialist. (TIS) | 8//12 | 6/01/14 | Time | SCES | Teachers incorporate the technology into their plans and lessons.

Goal 3
Renovate the Media Computer Lab with 30 new desktop computer stations (via a virtual computer concept) which is needed for continual student learning and the general use of the student body.  

Action Plan: Strategies/Activities

Strategy/Activity | Begin Date | End Date | Cost | Funding Source | Instructional Outcome
Purchase the equipment necessary to provide 30 new desktop computer stations (via a virtual computer concept) | 8/10/11 | 6/1/13 | $30,000 | Activity Funds; SBDM Funds | Will allow computer access to students
Purchase 60 student portable devices (such as mini laptops, IPads, Kindle Fires, etc) for the students to use and check out | 8/10/11 | 6/1/13 | $30,000 | SCES Activity Funds; SBDM Funds | Will increase the variety and depth of instruction

Staff Training/ Professional Development Goals 

The staff at Spencer County Elementary School will be instructed about the necessary obligation to use technology for instructional purposes, maintain the quality and condition of the technology, and be challenged to explore ways to better use technology for higher quality educational purposes. The Technology implementation specialist (TIS) will be working with teachers to help the join their instruction with the available technology.  

Current Technology and Resources 

Information has been requested from Mr. Cecil / Mr. Skinner regarding SCES’ Technology Inventory…..

Timeline

All staff will be instructed on the use of the computer labs and school technology by the start of the 2013 school year. The upgrading of the computer labs is a continuous process. The implementation of the TIS information will be taking place all year.  Completing the technology purchases will be finalized by 10-1-13.  Providing training for the integration of technology will be on-going throughout the school year.  

Evaluation
There will be a meeting held three times a year to review and evaluate the timeline and completion of the technology plan as listed in this document. Consideration will be given to all data as it pertains to measured progress.  

Budget
 [The plan must provide for a sufficient budget to acquire and support all technology elements (e-rate discounted and non-discounted) for the plan: the hardware, software, professional development, and other services that will be needed to implement the strategy. Be sure to include initial costs, recurring costs and additional costs for each goal.
