EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Technology has the capacity to enrich the learning process, increase the efficiency of all employees, and open the mind to limitless possibilities. Therefore, it is San Antonio Independent School District�s (SAISD) intention to maintain an aggressive posture in developing and maintaining a district-wide technology program that will provide our students, employees, and community with high-quality and relevant technology-based opportunities for learning and increasing productivity.

The SAISD Technology ePlan for the 2010-2013 school year was developed by a district committee made up of directors, administrators, teachers, and technology staff, who reviewed a variety of needs assessments. The committee identified five major goals that are tied to the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology (Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology). Based on these five goals, specific objectives and strategies were identified along with the appropriate budget and evaluation tools to ensure we have sufficient funds allocated to implement these projects and to monitor our progress.

Since technology is a moving target, and new and emerging technologies are becoming available daily, the ePlan is intended as a framework upon which we can build, not as an end all. While conditions may have changed both within the District and in the world at large, the essential elements for our successful implementation of technology in schools remain the same. Our general commitments for the upcoming years include:

1. Access: We believe that our students must learn and utilize the necessary skills to employ technology as a tool and resource for learning. Consequently, all SAISD students will have access to and will utilize technology during the introduction, reinforcement, and extension of learning activities at all campuses in all grade levels, pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. To ensure universal access, SAISD will:
� maintain a wide-area network connecting all classrooms, libraries, gyms, and offices at all campuses
� provide Internet access to every classroom and office
� provide at least one networked computer in every classroom
� establish at least one computer lab at every campus
� improve the 4 student to every computer ratio

2. Professional Learning: We provide training systems to ensure successful use of current and emerging technologies by students, staff, parents, and the community. This training focuses on role-specific applications and high-yield strategies for integrating these. To ensure that life-long learning opportunities are available, SAISD will:
� increase online learning opportunities for K-12, as well as adult learners
� deploy Technology personnel to train teachers in technology integration in instruction
� utilize SBEC Technology Application Standards for minimum teacher competencies regarding technology
� implement a technology scope and sequence in the core areas, beginning with Social Studies
� continue concentrated technology workshops, institutes, and seminars, as well as initiatives for technology integration
� develop grade level student benchmarks for technology utilization
� equip all campus libraries with automated management systems and subscribed to electronic research resources

3. Support: We maintain and enhance support systems (instructional coaching, technical support, troubleshooting, installation, maintenance, repair, acquisitions, plant services) for the use of technology that will ensure successful experiences by students, staff, parents, and the community (adequacy and timeliness). To ensure ongoing support, SAISD will:
� maintain a wide-area network connecting all classrooms, libraries, gyms, and offices at all campuses and all district support facilities
� increase and improve client support and empowerment for all SAISD campuses and departments, with special emphasis on expanded infrastructure and connectivity
� develop strategies to maintain or reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) in technology while simultaneously upgrading hardware capabilities
� continue improvement to administrative and student systems to ensure PEIMS data quality, with an expanded intranet and Internet capability for student support services to ensure effective, efficient, and timely auxiliary, administrative, and record-keeping services

4. Communication: We provide students, staff, parents, and community with a modern and effective communications system and infrastructure which includes a network that links schools, classrooms, libraries, businesses, home, governmental agencies, and others within and outside the District (connectivity). To ensure constant communication, SAISD will:
� maintain e-mail accounts for all professional employees
� maintain and support web sites for teachers and departments to provide information to the community
� provide GATS progress reports and report cards to each family in the district which allows families to check grades, attendance, etc.

The SAISD Technology ePlan for the 2010-2013 represents a work in progress. As the Plan is evaluated yearly, items of need will be added; those that have been completed will be removed. Technology in the SAISD will continue to play a major role in learning and teaching, in administration and information systems, and in the inclusion of parents and the community in the enterprise of education. At the center of the district's mission is student learning and productivity. Measured by benchmarks of student and staff progress, technology initiatives on each of these three fronts are critical to the district's success with technology and to its overall success in achieving the shared vision. As over half of SAISD�s population is economically disadvantaged, and reflecting our commitment to expand access, professional learning, support, and communication, we will continue to actively seek collaborative ways to partner with other entities to extend technology to our patrons and the San Antonio ISD community.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Assessment Process: A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing campus administrator and teacher online surveys, technology planning meetings, results of the Texas STaR Charts, as well as outcomes of the Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) survey were used to analyze the current status of technology in the district and to determine future needs.

Areas looked at included:

1. Teacher and student general information, teacher technology integration efforts, staff development, student computer usage at school, student's current knowledge and skill level and condition of campus computers (See SAISD Campus Technology Representative Technology Survey � Appendix

2. Administrator basic technology skills, leadership skills in educational technology, and social, legal, and ethical issues related to technology (See SAISD Administrator Technology Self-Assessment Survey � Appendix

3. Staff development, technical support, technology resources, curriculum integration, and infrastructure (See SAISD Texas STaR Chart Results � Appendix 3)

4. Teacher awareness, exploration, infusion, integration, expansion and refinement of technology development (See SAISD LOTI Outcomes � Appendix 4)

5. Technology skills of students (SAISD 8th Grade Technology Assessment Results � Appendix 5)

The planning process was guided by the correlates required in E-rate, NCLB (No Child Left Behind), and Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology.

The Technology Department along with select district and campus administrators and teachers gave input to develop the goals, strategies, and objectives needed to implement the plan. As suggested by the guidelines of the Texas e-Plan, the following areas were the targets used in the design of our plan: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Administrative and Support Services, and Infrastructure for Technology. The focal points that drove the design of the plan included needed online staff development, needed technology hardware, and needed future curriculum alignment.

Existing Conditions:
The technology conditions that currently exist in the district are:

Infrastructure:
Connectivity to Region 20 is provided by AT&T, the District�s wide area network and Internet provider. This connectivity is accomplished through fiber optic connections (Ethernet over fiber). The district also has wireless capability which spans all schools and administrative sites. Additionally, dedicated servers operate specialized software for teacher productivity and administrative management, i.e, GATS (Gradebook and Attendance System), Eduphoria, ePath, and our course management system (Moodle).


Elementary and Secondary Campuses:
A computer lab can be found on most campuses. The campuses have a computer lab with Internet connection for each computer. These campuses have access to a computerized card catalog, Internet access, online reference databases, and automated checkout in the library. Although the technology in these labs is technically adequate, the access is limited due to the large number of classes trying to schedule time in each lab. Data projectors are available for checkout at various campuses. Furthermore, digital cameras and camcorders are also available at various campuses to help teachers and students create projects. The cost of updating labs to adequately address Technology Applications:TEKS would involve expenditures of $1.5 million in personnel allocations and $1.2 million in hardware and software.


Staff Development:
SAISD Staff is currently trained in the use and application of district productivity software and technology tools. The Instructional Technology & Learning Services Department staff provide the professional learning opportunities. The following methods are being utilized for staff development:


*Online anytime, anywhere courses for teachers and administrators
*In-service Day Training for administrators, teachers, and staff
*Conference period small group training for teachers and staff
*After school face to face workshops for administrators and teachers
*During student computer lab time for teachers
*Just-in-time training for teachers and administrators
*Seminars and institutes for teachers, parents and administrators

Technology Needs:
A summary of the technology needs and issues identified by the results of the campus administrator and teacher online surveys, technology planning meetings, Texas Teacher and Campus STaR Charts, as well as outcomes of the Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) indicate that the following items are areas of need in SAISD:

STAFF DEVELOPMENT: Based on the technology surveys with campus administrators and teachers, the ITLS Department will continue to need to train on web 2.0 and 21st century skills in order to enhance the technology proficiency and productivity skills of administrators and teacher. Furthermore, there is continued need for online staff development in order to enable the staff to access professional development 24/7. In addition individualized "just-in-time" training is being requested to meet specific needs.

HARDWARE: Based on the technology surveys with campus administrators and teachers, new and updated computer hardware is needed on campuses in order to ensure the integration of technology. SAISD currently owns more than 19,600 computers that are located on its 92 campuses. Of these computers, over 49% are over five years old and are still in use even though they are considered obsolete.

COMPUTERS: Based on the technology surveys with campus administrators and teachers, the following is needed in regards to computers: 1) additional workstations to support curriculum and online testing are needed in the classrooms, 2) replacement of obsolete computers , 3) maintain ongoing repairs as needed on existing equipment, and 4) a laptop/netbook for every teacher.

PHONE SYSTEM: Based on the need for greater security and communications in the classroom, the district must be able to support future voice-over-IP initiatives that will place a telephone in every classroom.

BANDWIDTH: Greater bandwidth is needed is order to ensure that campuses are able to access digital curriculum programs and/or streaming video. The online student assessment programs and grade book program require responsive reliable Internet activity. Also, the wireless infrastructure must be able to support the multitude of wireless laptops and handheld devices (iPod Touch) being purchased by the school.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Based on the results of the STaR Chart, additional technical support staff, capable of supporting, maintaining, and troubleshooting aging equipment is needed.


TECHNOLOGY COURSES: Based on observations made by the ITLS staff and results of the 8th grade Technology Assessment, additional courses/teachers in the Technology Applications department at all secondary campuses is needed.

VERTICAL ALIGNMENT OF TEKS: Based on the results of the 8th grade Technology Assessment and the results of the STaR Chart Survey, a vertical alignment of the technology TEKS is needed.

EIGHTH GRADE TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT: Based on the new requirements mandated by the state and NCLB, SAISD will begin to investigate and incorporate an in-house assessment to determine if students have mastered 70% of the Technology TEKS.


LEADERSHIP: Based on the technology surveys with campus administrators, an assessment instrument monitoring campus administrator�s support and use of technology is needed in order to see how administrators meet the new 2009 ISTE NETS for Administrators.

INTERNET SAFETY: Based on CIPA Guidelines, the following is needed: 1) more awareness of Internet safety monitoring needs to be disseminated, and 2) an Internet Safety curriculum.

COMMUNITY/PARENT: Based on meetings with the ITLS Staff and reflections of parent workshops, the following is needed: 1) broadcastable daily announcements of campuses viewable by parents ; 2) parent workshops on Internet safety and cyberbullying; 3) more awareness of student created projects at campuses; and 4) awareness of Internet safety monitoring at campuses.

EVALUATION
Evaluation Process:
Progress on this plan will be monitored and documented by the Chief Information Officer, Executive Directors reporting to him, the Deputy Superintendent of Curriculum & Instruction, the Superintendent's Cabinet and the Board of Trustees.

Members of the Instructional Technology & Learning Services Office will meet throughout the year to evaluate the technology plan for effectiveness in serving the students of the district. Timelines for specific projects will be established by the project leader and be reported on a regular basis.
