Introduction, Technology Planning Committee, Mission Statement2008-2011

The Camdenton R-III School District is located in Camden County in the rural Central Missouri Ozarks and serves a population of more than 4,000 students, ranging over an area of more than 390 square miles. The population of the district continues to grow and currently has approximately 25,000 permanent residents. The community surrounding the Lake of the Ozarks has been one of the fastest growing areas in the state of Missouri.

The school district serves a unique community because of the geographic makeup of the area and the diverse economic mix of small business, industry and tourism. Students attending the eight Camdenton R-III school buildings come from nine small communities. More than 40% of the students qualify for free or reduced lunches.

Our district technology plan strives to ensure high student achievement for all students, including technology literacy skills. It promotes the effective integration of technology through curriculum development, professional development, the use of research-based instructional methods, equitable resources and a support system. This plan addresses these five Technology Focus Areas:

1) Student learning as it relates to the Show Me Standards, including technology skills2) Teacher preparation and delivery of instruction3) Administration, data management & communication processes4) Resource distribution and use5) Technical support.

This long-range education technology plan complies with the Telecommunications Act of 1996, E-rate Program, enabling our continued participation in the MOREnet Network Program. It fulfills the requirement by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education that all school districts have a long-range education technology plan that meets the updated Missouri Education Technology Strategic Plan goals. This plan follows the requirements set by the No Child Left Behind legislation and Title IID Program. (Review of previous plan can be found at the end of each TFA section.)

The educational technology mission of Camdenton R-III Schools is to providestudents and staff with the skills necessary to become leaders in our technology-based, global society. It embraces the concept of lifelong learning in an environment where the tools of technology support teaching and learning in all areas.

This educational technology must target the enhancement of student achievement, and will focus on identifying and developing technology solutions which have shown success in this effort. Thus, technology will be infused into the curriculum, improving student achievement through learner centered, interactive lessons that emphasize process, problem solving and inquiry.


3

Technology will be used to facilitate effective communication and promote collaboration. We will provide the appropriate resources necessary to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students and to support the staff in efficiently completing the administrative operations of the district. We will regularly offer effective staff development programs and timely technical support.

The mission statement directs implementation of all of the five Technology Focus Areas, with a focus on integration and student achievement. It demonstrates a clear connection between learning technology access and use.

The Camdenton R-III School District Technology Planning Committee is responsible for developing, disseminating, implementing, and evaluating the District’s Technology Plan. The plan was collaboratively developed to guide policy and practice, and will be updated annually. It focuses on student academic success, using research along with proven teaching and learning principles to meet the needs of our district.

The Camdenton R-III School District Technology Planning Committee is appropriate in size for our district. Representation is equitable, and appropriate to address the five Technology Focus Areas. This committee features a broad committee membership that includes teachers from all buildings, administrators, students, parents, board members, technology personnel, support staff, library/ media specialists, local business people, and other community members. All membership groups, which include committees within our district and national and local organizations, are represented. Committee members act as representatives for their buildings, organizations, or areas, providing input and expertise. The superintendents in charge of hardware and software act as facilitators for this committee that meets monthly.

Introduction

The Camdenton R-III School District has selected PC compatible hardware as its base platform. We determined that this platform offers more program diversity and will be the operating system that students will most likely be working with in the workplace.

All of our computer hardware is capable of running Windows 2000. The majority of our systems are currently running Windows 2000 Professional. New systems are being purchased with Windows Vista and are being downgraded to Windows XP Professional.

All classrooms have at least one computer and many classrooms have multiple computers. All computers in the district are Internet connected and have some means of E-Mail communication with the exception of a few systems used only for word processing distributed throughout a few Language Arts classrooms where teachers have requested them.

All Administrative computers are Internet connected and utilize several means of communication including E-Mail and shared data locations.

Our school district has a direct 20mb/s circuit for Internet access to MOREnet. Each building has at least 100mb full duplex connectivity to our central office.

The Camdenton R-III School District has ITV/Distance Learning capabilities which can be provided at any location district wide utilizing Polycomm equipment over the MOREnet connection using the H.323 protocol and is capable of serving as a Teaching or a Receiving site.

Camdenton R-III Schools utilizes mainly a Novell Netware 6.0 based network under a School License Agreement for unlimited connections with some services hosted using Windows 2000 Advanced Server. All buildings act as a single LAN, outlying buildings use LAN resources over high speed WAN connections.

The entire infrastucture is at least a 10/100 fully switched network based on a star topology. A very small number of hubs are still being used in classrooms where computers have been added and only 1 network connection was available. The entire infrastructure is monitored using What’s Up Gold and any failing device can be detected almost immediately. All network traffic is monitored using a mirrored port span from a Cisco 6509 in combination with a packet analyzer; any rogue traffic is detected for immediate response.

District Resource Distribution

InfrastructureInternet and Wide Area Networking Our school district has a direct 20mb/s

connection to MOREnet distributed to the district facilities via our Cisco 6509. Hurricane Deck, Horizons and Osage Beach use a 100mb/s fiber WAN link to connect back to the Administration building to utilize the Camdenton Campus LAN resources.

Local Area Networking Each building on the Camdenton campus is connected back to the 6509 with the greatest connection being 1gb multi-mode fiber connecting between Administration to High School, Dogwood, Middle School, OakRidge, Hawthorne and LCTC. Connections of 100mb/s fiber for smaller buildings exist between Administration to Transportation, Maintenance, Horticulture and Concessions.

WAN Server Resources The WAN server resources consist of 2 OPEN BSD servers currently outsourced to a local vendor for content filtering, Web and E-Mail protection.

LAN Server Resources The Camdenton campus LAN resources consist of 17 Novell Netware 6 servers to support a broad number of educational applications as well as management features for quicker and easier repairs. 7 Windows 2000 servers hosting web services, backup and monitoring software. 2 outsourced Pogo Linux servers hosting educational Applications.

Electrical Systems Our electrical systems have adequately met our needs. The Maintenance department maintains and upgrades the electrical systems in our buildings as necessary.

Temperature Control Systems Our temperature control systems have adequately met our needs. The Maintenance department maintains and upgrades these systems in our buildings as necessary. HVAC systems are run on individual thermostats for classrooms, gyms etc. However the M.S. is run on partial boiler and individual RTUs. All Buildings have heat and A.C.

Security Systems Camdenton School District has security plans in place for each individual building. These plans are carried out by the School Resource officers who are active police officers from the Camdenton Police Department. The Middle School has a camera system consisting of 13 interior and 3 exterior cameras. Security officers have the ability for camera’s to be placed at any location with network access. The Camdenton Police Department has the ability to view the camera system from any building and remote access to the LAN for view is possible. Security systems are being added to buildings as funding allows.

District SoftwareData Management SASI is used for student management.

IGPRO is used for grade books at the Middle School and High School levels. Making the Grade is used for grade books at the elementary level. SISfin (School Information Systems Financial) is used for accounting and payroll.

Educational Software Many educational applications are used district wide for instructional purposes.

Status/Progress of Previous Action Plan:

After reviewing the previous Action Plan, changes have been noted in all Student Learning goals. The past goal of moving the district to a one platform status has been met by replacing all remaining MACs with PCs.

Looking to the next year, the technology committee will continue to review and revise the current technology curriculum to ensure appropriate activities that support software used in all subject areas. The goal is to continue to provide equitable access to technology in each building across the district and research new of changed technologies to provide both hardware and software access. Teachers have access to the following programs for instructional purposes: Knowledge Box, Orchard, and Plato. In addition, they have access to Inform which warehouses student performance data and Benchmark which allows for the creation and scoring of common assessments.

It is important to note that teachers have taken a giant step in the way they have utilized software in the classrooms. No longer does the district buy software unless the teacher can state a valid instructional purpose. Instead of buying individual pieces of software, the district has been able to purchase the Orchard program and Knowledge Box which provide numerous resources to teachers. This has also helped to minimize the technical support required to troubleshoot software problems.
