EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Because technology is changing at such a quick pace, the Trinidad ISD Technology Plan provides a framework for all aspects of the district's technology use.

The goals and objectives, as well as the mission and vision, for technology follow the district's overall vision, the standards set by TEA in the Texas StaRChart, and the NCLB Act.

The goals and objectives of the Trinidad ISD Technology Plan are to provide administration, teachers, staff, students, and the community with an outline of how technology will be and can be used in the district.

The purpose of Trinidad ISD's Technology Plan is to have common visions and goals for technology and to identify the strategies that will help us in advancement to improve academic achievement, including all areas of technology literacy, curriculum standards, critical thinking skills, and to build the capacity of all teachers to integrate technology effectively into curriculum and instruction.

Trinidad ISD recognizes that the teachers and staff need to be fully aware of new technology and be trained to use these things in their classrooms. Our district calendar has been planned so that our entire instructional staff will be able to receive the best available training in the use of all software and equipment the district has to offer.

Special attention will be given to addressing student standards for technology as defined by the Technology Applications TEKS. Our students will gain technology based knowledge and skills. These skills will be applied to all curriculum areas at all grade levels.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Assessment Process: A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing teacher/student surveys, interviews, inventories and the Texas Campus STaR Chart was conducted to analyze the current status of technology in the district and determine future needs. Items analyzed included: infrastructure, hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources, staff development, and technical support.

Existing Conditions:

The following technology is currently in place district wide:
 Direct connection to the Internet via 2 T1 leased lines.
 Four file servers serving the needs of the district.
 District website is hosted off-site and provides district information and student accomplishments and is maintained by students and teachers.
 Written policies in place on acceptable use of the Internet/network, web page postings, disaster recovery management, and equipment donations.
 Distance learning lab available for students, staff, and community members.
 Networked online card catalog, Internet access, online resources, and automated checkout in the library
 Network drops in every classroom
 Computer projectors for classroom checkout
 Smart Boards for classroom checkout.
 A minimum of 4 networked computers in every classroom.
 3 computer labs consisting of 25 networked computers each
 Direct connection to the Internet via 2 T1 leased lines.
 One fiber-backbone, Ethernet-to-the-desktop connected computer lab (running Win XP P4 computers)to provide for across the curriculum and for advanced technology classes, desktop publishing, advanced word processing, web mastering, computer programming, computer repair, and system networking.
 TARGET grant mobile lab for high school TAKS subjects.
 Currently, all students and staff members in the school district have access to the Internet, through a direct connection.
 A fiber-backbone LAN and an air LAN are in place for the district.

EVALUATION
Evaluation Process:
Evaluation of the Technology Plan will be a systematic ongoing process. All aspects of the Plan will be evaluated at least annually.

The Technology Plan Committee will be responsible for the ongoing evaluation of this plan. The intention of the evaluation will be to make decisions on the impact that technology has on the learning process for all students. A report will be given to the Superintendent and the Board of Trustees after each formal evaluation occurs.

Trinidad ISD's STaR Chart results for each campus will be used to help Trinidad ISD assess its progress toward meeting the goals of the Long Range Plan for Technology.

Evaluation Method:
Other methods used for evaluation will include:
1. Surveys of the staff conducted twice yearly in regards to their use of technology in the classroom.
2. Informal interviews conducted once a semester by the campus Technology Plan Committee representative.
3. Records of staff member participation in technology training monitored by sign-in sheets and teacher professional development records.
4. Integration of training into the classroom as measured by lesson plans and number and type of technology and distance learning projects.
5. Monitoring and documentation of community access to technology resources and information on the campuses and on the web site.
6. Monitoring and documentation of community involvement
7. Yearly inventory of hardware and software.
8. Support and maintenance of technology as documented by technical support records.
