Executive Summary

As our schools shift to internet based applications, we realize that our network will bear the burden of delivering this instruction. Currently, 3 of 4 schools are connected to the network hub via Gigabit and the 4th is on 20MB fiber. However, the connection we have to the state (internet) is only 10MB which is a limiting factor with regard to internet-based instruction. In summer 2012, we received erate discounts and local commitments that allowed us to replace all of our old switches and install district-wide wireless service with transparent proxy. Our greatest needs now (from an infrastructure standpoint) are VOIP and video distribution.Parents receive newsletters designed to keep them abreast of school developments and they have access to our district and school websites where they can find more information. Our web host is now providing blogging capability and we’re encouraging faculty to begin using that feature..Our student information system (which is internet based) provides a parent portal. This is popular with parents because of the ability to check grades. We’ll continue to encourage parents to use this resource as a way to increase parental involvement. We are using the SIS to register students for classes.We continue to emphasize instructional needs as the driving force behind technology planning. Our formative assessments through Discovery Education Assessment are revealing areas that we can strengthen with new software applications and innovative teaching strategies. Professional development will assist in efficient use of these new tools as we improve our instructional relationship with our students.

Planning Process and Methodology

The District Tech Committee is made up of members of the School Tech Committees. School Tech Committees are advised to determine instructional weaknesses by

2

reviewing assessment results. The School Tech plans should address those areas of need. The School Tech Committees create their own school plans which are approved by the Site Based Committees. Then the District Plan is written from the combined school plans with additional plans based on District Wide infrastructure and instructional needs. The District Committee approves the plan for presentation to the Board of Education. The Board reviews the plan and has final approval. The plan is evaluated informally on a constant basis and formally once a year. The District Tech Committee is responsible for reviewing and revising the plan.The District Plan is then reviewed by the Office Of Education Technology to insure compliance with the requirements of the USF program which provides discounts for telecommunications services and certain eligible “internal connections” (hardware).

TECH VISION AND GOALS – RESULTS of 2012/2013

Goal Strategy Progress

1 Replace switches 100% - Completed

2 1:1 Computing 40% - We have wireless throughout the district but we rely on personal devices for access.

3 Video Distribution None

4 VOIP None

5 Cabling 100% for wireless

Video Distribution and VOIP remain goals for 2013/2014.

Current Technology and ResourcesMESMilton Elementary has a network in place, phones, security system, hardware and software that are needed for daily instruction. All switches are new as of summer 2012 but we need greater bandwidth for our web-based applications. There is an indication that the state may provide additional bandwidth into the district summer of 2013 but until

3

that happens, the 10MB bottleneck into the district renders superfluous any additional bandwidth between the network hub and MES. This Time-Warner provided fiber is currently at 20MB for a school of 20 teachers and 280 students. We have 29 computers in the computer lab, each classroom has a teacher machine and at least 2 student machines and we have a wireless cart with 13 laptops. Training for the technical staff is provided by our network administrator.

During the 2013-2014 school year, Milton Elementary School will be implementing/utilizing P.A.S., Smartboard, Study Island, Math Magician, aaamath.com, Success Net and RTI to increase student achievement across all grade levels in all subject areas. Teachers will continue to use Smartboards, document cameras, and Discovery Education to develop more effective teaching strategies. All teachers will use School Pointe to keep an updated class webpage. Parents can also access Trimble County web page and Infinite Campus. Parents will also receive individual P.A.S. scores throughout the school year. At different times throughout the school year, the community will be invited to visit the webpage via the school digital sign.

BESCurrent technology at Bedford Elementary includes Smart Board technologies, two stationary computer laboratories 55 student computers, 15 laptops, 29 projectors, 25 Smart Boards, 18 document cameras, 13 student response systems, 9 student computers in Library, and each class room has a teacher computer and 2 student computers in grades kindergarten to third grade. Available software as well as web base programs includes Study Island, Education City, Fast Math, Accelerated Math, Math Magician, Study Dog, Discover Education, and Pearson Reading Street Series. Each class has 40 minutes of computer lab twice weekly. The students use Discovery Education PAS testing in reading, math, science, and social studies three times a year.

TCMSTCMS has one computer lab that provides approximately 46 computers for student use. The library has 30 student computers. All classrooms have at least on teacher computer while some have from one to eight student computers. All classrooms have smart boards and mounted projectors. ( Excluding the art room). They use a projector off a cart. We have two sets of classroom I-pods. Every teacher has an I-pad, and the hardware required to project the I-pad image on the Smartboard screen. There are two scanners, digital cameras, one digital magnifier, and four document cameras.

There are five AP units. The three math teachers have writing pads. We have three airliners. We also have the Turning point student response system for each classroom.

All switches in the building are new. New computers/monitors will be added each year so that there is rotation of up to date computers. We will continue to pay for software license on all programs that we use.

TCHS

Trimble County High school currently has 3 computer labs available to all students. Lab 206 has 27 new computers. The 33 computers in lab 219 are no longer used as a language lab, but are open for classes to use for multimedia purposes throughout the day. Lab102 has 30 computers which can be used 1st, 4th, 6th and 7th periods due to the Spanish classroom also being located in the lab. There is a Business lab and Technology lab for students in those respective courses. Credit Recovery has 18 computers for students to work on online courses through JCPS. There are also 18 computers for student use in the library. There is a mobile wireless laptop lab of 32 student computers which can be checked out by faculty. TCHS has 11 I Pads for use by Independent Chemistry students. Each classroom has a projector or smart TV that can be connected to a computer. There is also a projector system in the cafeteria and library. There are two terminal services computers in ACEP and five terminal services workstations in the chemistry lab. All Special Education teachers and the principals, counselor and one teacher have laptops. All other teachers have a desktop computer. There is a laptop for the publication of the Trimble Educator and a MAC desktop for video production in the media class.Currently, the Business lab is in need of upgraded computers. We added RAM in order to allow those computers to run Office 2010; however they need faster processors and larger hard drives to continue to be able to run newer software. The Technology Education lab recently upgraded most of the computers. However, all computers could not be upgraded because the old software is not compatible with the new computers. The old software is no longer supported and needs to be upgraded. At that time, the computers that will run it will need to be upgraded as well. The monitors in Lab 102 are blurry and hard to read and need to be replaced.We are providing students and faculty with more smart classrooms. We currently have smartboards in fifteen classrooms. More teachers need to be trained on how to best implement interactive activities into instruction so that the smartboards can be used to their full potential. We also need to obtain other interactive equipment such as student response systems and document cameras. As we begin thinking about providing a one to one ratio for students, we need to investigate schools who are successfully improving student performance and the practices they use to effectively use laptops with students.Cable TV is no longer available in our building due to weak signal strength. New cabling is needed throughout the building if we are going to use Cable in the Classroom and KET for instructional purposes or in order to have any in house feed.

DistrictWe have about 760 computers and I-pads. This includes 108 computers purchased summer of 2012. Based on our typical replacement cycles, we still need to be able to replace 100-200 of these devices in any one year. We need to make plans for securing the funding to handle this large turnover of computers.All of our switches were replaced summer of 2012 through e-rate funding and local money. These switches are capable of carrying the voice and video that we eventually hope to move to the data network. The 10MB connection to the internet provided by the state continues to be a concern. We have more and more web-based instructional applications and more of our

5

administrative apps are moving in that direction as well. We are using MUNIS in the cloud now and that puts more stress on instructional use of our 10MB connection.Our telephone system is about 15 years old and we’re going to be investigating a number of options but VOIP is at the top of that list right now.Our television signals at two schools are very limited due to infrastructure/equipment problems. At another school about 50% of the classrooms have a viable video connection. One school is able to get four channels to every room and they are pushed through the ceiling mounted projectors.We have adequate wireless access after a district-wide installation of access points in the summer of 2012. We generally are able to get on the wireless network anywhere in the schools but we may need more AP’s if we ever try to get whole classrooms connected simultaneously.

The Technology team, technology coordinator, and the principal will use documentation when monitoring instructional activities utilizing technology usage. The technology team will analyze the data and discuss new and creative means being implemented in the classroom. Any adjustments needed to assist a struggling technology user will be discussed and a solution will be derived. A summative outcome will be deliberated at the staff meeting. Through indicators teachers will have continuous access to student progress, technology usage, multi media resources, and a beautiful array of evaluation tools to ensure the success of students learning targets. The Technology team will present, model, and assist with implementation to staff members as well as stakeholders.Surveys will be utilized to assess the infrastructure. Surveys will also be implemented after technology professional development to ensure the success of any learning outcomes. All evaluation data will be presented to staff members, board members, and district wide technology administrators.

TCMSNew programs and old will continue to be evaluated for effectiveness and continued or discontinued. Teachers will know what works for them and their students. District wide policies will be followed and added to in order to improve student achievement.

MESStudy Island, RTI probes and Discovery Education are programs used for development and utilization of innovative strategies. Study Island is aligned with the common core standards. The principal will complete an I/I check once every 9 weeks to monitor progress toward these goals. The principal will have a conference with any teacher who is not meeting these expectations.

TCHSWith the state no longer providing KVHS we were unable to enroll students in any online AP or dual credit courses.. This allows students the opportunity to take rigorous courses that are not offered at Trimble County High School. We are currently exploring the possibility of offering dual credit courses online. Students who meet the criteria for alternative school are enrolled in JCPS E school for completion of Kentucky Core Academic Standards courses needed for graduation. There are currently 15 students enrolled in E School. They have completed a significant number of credit hours and two students have met all requirements for graduation.We are re-subscribing to E PREP which will be used weekly by all Juniors and will be available to all students on their own time.

BES

Sending teachers and technology coordinator to conferences to ensure the most updated technology is being implemented within the classroom. The technology team will introduce to teachers blog sites, websites, and multimedia resources. Surveys to ensure professional development training is appropriate and essential to technology development.

MES

Teachers will be evaluated using the teacher technology standards. Training will be provided through conferences. Training for the technical staff will be provided through our network administrator. All teachers are required to fill out a professional development sheet.

TCMS

District and school tech personal will continue to attend conferences and meetings to stay abreast of new ideas. List serves and peer communication will keep us informed of changing ideas.

TCHS

1. The staff is currently proficient in the use of daily instructional and organizational technology including Infinite Campus, email, Microsoft office, and Internet Explorer. As TCHS acquires SMART technology devices and Apple devices, the staff is trained accordingly – funds provided. As routine programs change (IC, Office, etc.), the staff is supported in house rather than via professional development due to funding obstacles.

2. A current priority is to train staff in the advanced use of SMART devices, specifically the SMART Board. After the initial free training, the school has struggled to provide adequate funding for advanced training. Previously, the school had a teacher who was a certified trainer that would help for free. This is not the case now.

3. Most of our training is through support as needed due to a lack of funding. The training is documented through signatures. If there is outside training, certification slips from the training provide documentation.

4. Any and all technology training is derived directly from the Curriculum portion of this plan. This year, for instance, two teachers attended an Apple training to learn of more effective instructional uses for the iPad. All trainings offered relate directly to the goals above.

5. There are no “technical staff” supervised by TCHS.6. Funds provided, documentation of PD sessions and trainings will serve as evidence of adherence to this plan. A measure of effectiveness for

each is listed in the plan above. The evaluation is simply the recognition of success or failure using the indicators for each individual goal.

Technology Goals – Evaluation

BESTechnology is monitored yearly by a review of the technology plan, CSIP, and data collected throughout the year. The technology component of the certified evaluation process is reviewed with upcoming professional development plans. Technology and professional development are embedded and ongoing through professional growth plans and CSIP.

35

MESStudents will be using Microsoft applications, AR, to be technology literate. Hardware and software will be up to date so the students will have access to the latest technology. Computers, licenses and wireless access will be needed to maintain our current instructional environment. Teachers will use the Renaissance Learning Dashboard to measure the percentage of students at Milton Elementary who are readers at each grade level and who are using Accelerated Reader and STAR Reading.

TCMSTCMS will continue toward upgrading and adding new technology to the school and curriculum as needed, indicated by test scores and student yearly achievement. District Technology Committee will keep us informed as to over all school achievement toward our goal as a district. Software and equipment will be dictated by teacher use and student achievement as an individual school.We will strive to meet new ideas and implementation with an open mind. Limited resources will influence when and how fast we move into new and different avenues. Our goal is to become a wirless school with up to date computers. This involves replacing the thin clients in the math room. Servers and switches as needed and videoing close circuit throughout the school, Laptop/Ipods, computers for all students, and an automated phone service for parent contact.

TCHS1. As evident, all goals and indicators above demonstrate a commitment to expansion of the role of technology in our school,

specifically new technology that shows promise, and old technology that has data to support its impact.2. The TCHS STC works directly with the CIO for TCPS to ensure compatibility.3. Infrastructure upgrades as mentioned earlier in this plan.4. Mentioned at each goal in the “Indicator” column

Trimble County Schools – District-wide

The acquisition of more than 100 new computers, all new switches, and district-wide wireless in the summer of 2012 has pushed VOIP and Video distribution to the forefront of our budget needs. We still need to purchase additional WAP’s for our wireless network but that need is secondary until the number of personally owned devices increases.

Finally, we plan to apply for the following erate eligible services:Web HostingVOIPVideo DistributionLocal Phone ServiceLong DistancePRI for VOIPDark FiberMetro Ethernet
