I. CURRICULUM Goal: The goal of technology education in Bangor Township Schools is to prepare students to use the tools of a rapidly changing technological society.

Section 4: Curriculum Integration The State of Michigan is a national leader in the development of elementary/secondary curriculum standards, which describe essential learning for all students. As part of the national standards movement, the Michigan State Board of Education was required to develop standards for a core academic curriculum including math, science, reading, history, geography, economics, American government and writing. A specific set of standards has been developed for Instructional Technology at every grade level. Technology standards specifying what students must know and be able to do, as they progress through stages of schooling, are important in fostering their development. These standards are valuable to our society at large for students, educators, parents, policymakers, employers, and providers of goods and services. Quality indicators for curriculum development and technology include the following:

The design of the curriculum is driven by the goals and performance indicators for student learning that have been defined by the school. The MDE Curriculum Framework will serve as a guide to this.

The design of the curriculum takes into account the learning needs and interests of all students.

The curriculum is clearly articulated and supports a shared vision for student learning.

The school is committed to the on-going evaluation and renewal of the curriculum.

The advantages of integrating applications of technology in teaching strategies and learning activities encourage teachers to provide students with learning experiences that would be impossible or difficult to achieve without technology resources.

Effective instructional strategies and learning activities are employed to help students understand and use technology.

Information technology resources are employed to expand to and strengthen the system of assessing student learning.

High quality assessments are employed to evaluate students' achievement of essential knowledge needed to use technology proficiently.

In order to adhere to quality curriculum development and technology education, the following table details the strategies and action plans the district has developed to achieve technology integration across the curriculum:

Section 5: Student Achievement Technology is defined as the application of science especially to industrial or commercial objectives or the scientific method and the machines and materials used to achieve a commercial or industrial objective. As such, technology curriculum integrates the complementary areas of technology education and educational technology. Technology education is defined as the study of technology and its effects on individuals, society and civilization. Educational technology is the application of technology to the teaching and learning process. Learning with and about technology prepares learners to live responsibly in a democratic, technically driven society. Learners will be asked to use technology for management, problem solving, creative expression, research, design, and product development in their careers. Learners become technologically capable when they apply technology across curricular areas and when technology is used throughout the teaching and learning process. With that in mind, the district has developed specific outcomes for integrating technology into and across the curriculum. Outcomes A technologically literate learner:

Explores, evaluates, and uses technology to accomplish real world tasks,

Develops knowledge, ability, and responsibility in the use of resources, processes, and systems of technology,

Acquires, organizes, analyzes, and presents information,

Expands the range and effectiveness of communication skills,

Solves problems, accomplishes tasks, and expresses individual creativity through the use of technology,

Applies legal and ethical standards when using technology. Timeline The outcomes listed above for technology integration into curricula will be completed by June 2015.

Section 6: Technology Delivery Various technologies are currently used to access “distant resources” for academic achievement. Computers are integrated into the traditional curriculum where the emphasis is on the use of the computer as a tool for learning. Various technologies are used to assist learning proven and must support the established curriculum. Staff use of technology is of paramount importance and highly encouraged in all classrooms. Teachers are given abundant opportunities to work with computers. Each teacher has a telephone in his or her own classroom. Televisions, VCR's, DVD players, multi-media projectors and CD/DVD-ROM technology are also available throughout the district.

Among the technologies currently used in Bangor Township Schools are internet and web resources, interactive videos, interactive classroom, audience response systems, and various other media. Other specific technologies that are currently being implemented include: Edline, Pinnacle, SkyWard, School Messenger, United Streaming, Grade-Quick, CIMS, Interwrite whiteboards, Interwrite audience response systems, and Data Warehousing. Offices and administrators are connected to the Human Resource Center and the Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District with fiber connections for administrative data, e-mail, calendaring, etc. In addition, administrators are capable of on-line retrieval of decision-making data and immediate access to information and communications between administrators. FAX machines are available in each school administrative office and the media centers. Counselors have on-line retrieval of career and college information, financial aid, and can communicate with other counselors. Some of the future technologies that might be used for enhancing instruction and to improve student achievement include: online courses, video production, interactive web designs, virtual conferencing and virtual field trips, computer assisted common assessment software, online course work (via Moodle or similar product), further mediation of classrooms, and online data collection and analysis programs. Also worth noting is that in an effort to keep technology up-to-date we use a "refresh lease" to rotate workstations in the buildings. This type of lease allows us to either buy the equipment at the end of the lease or return them for new equipment. With this option, new equipment is coming into the district every year with a new three-year warranty and the workstations being replaced are being distributed to the classrooms to replace even more outdated equipment.

Section 7: Parental Communications and Community Relations The technology plan will be disseminated to the community in a variety of ways:

Web sites

District newspaper

Board meetings (open to all community members)

Hard copies of the plan are available in each building In addition to traditional print resources, technology is used to communicate with parents and the community to promote awareness and encourage engagement:

Edline – online parent portal

Online surveys

Building and district websites

School Messenger – direct communication to district parents via voice and data messages

Use of digital billboards within the community

Section 8: Collaboration Computers and improved telecommunications have created new and unique opportunities for teaching and learning. Technology will help assure equity of access for learners as it becomes easier to match tools to the unique learning needs of students. Technology has turned out to be a major focus for educational service agencies across the state and nation. Collaboration with other service providers, business and industry are important in order to enrich technology resources in our schools and enhance learning for all. The district collaborates with:

Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District

Bay Area Y (through North Preschool)

7.

Delta Community College

Davenport University

Saginaw Valley State University

REMC 6

All schools serving under the Bay Arenac ISD At this time, the district does not participate in any adult literacy programs.

II. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Goal: Develop knowledge, ability, and responsibility/accountability in the use of resources, processes, and

systems of technology through ongoing professional development.

Section 9: Professional Development Programs/Activities

The district has a great need for technology related staff development opportunities. A wide variety of skill levels exist related to the application of technology in the classroom. We need to close the gap between the highly skilled and the under skilled technology users. Staff development is necessary to assist teaching staff in making the changes that allows them to enable technology to best support their instructional processes. Teachers often use technology in a way that is consistent with prior teaching practices. Many times this produces a misapplication of technology to teaching and learning. It takes time and experience for teachers to learn to "think outside the box" when it comes to incorporating technology into their lesson plans. Therefore, we must provide a variety of technology related staff development opportunities that focus on effective applications of technology in innovative ways. These opportunities need to be offered at times that are convenient to our teaching staff and at locations that are suitable for course offerings. In order to facilitate appropriate and timely professional development offerings, specific professional development and training items and corresponding timelines are listed below. In addition, staff training on 21 Things for the 21st Century Educator has been offered for the past 2 years. This training integrates effective teaching strategies with current technology applications and the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers and Administrators. As part of this training, teachers are required to produce a portfolio of lessons they have developed using current technology applications, such as collaboration tools, communication tools, presentation tools, and tools for specific content areas.

III. INFRASTRUCTURE, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, TECHNICAL SUPPORT, &

DESIGN Goal: Bangor Township Schools will maintain Infrastructure, Hardware, Software, Technical support & design for current needs and also allows for future growth.

Section 11: Current Technology Most of our school buildings have been in operation for 50-60 years. Bangor Township Schools has considered our building infrastructure carefully during our technology planning processes. Continuous technological change is now a basic fact of school technology planning so we try to plan strategically, and build for the continued evolution of technology through innovative design based on flexibility, diversity and expansion. Our district's network (Appendix A) is designed to facilitate opportunities such as:

Shared academic and administrative resources, Enhanced curricular choices for students (via Interactive Television, Internet/Web, satellite), Compatible standards among all schools within the district, High speed data and communication exchange for administration and instruction, Access to the Internet/World Wide Web, Access to higher education offerings, Electronic delivery of video, CD ROM, and software resources, Electronic links to distance learning, business, industry and governmental agencies, Video conferencing for meetings and staff development, Internet account management, Webhosting services that include a parent/student portal for secure access to grades and attendance records,

Network usage and volume are monitored, evaluated, and expanded to maintain the high-level bandwidth. To minimize the cost associated with some of our acquired technologies, such as telecommunications services, Internet access, and web hosting, the district receives discounts for a percentage of the total cost from the USF E-rate Program. (Appendix C) Bangor Township Schools receives an annual average reimbursement of approximately 72% from the E-Rate Program. Since the technologies in our schools serve diverse uses and functions, they need flexible designs to accommodate different activities and they must be durable enough to endure continuous use. The current technologies used by the district to meet the goals in this technology plan are outlined in the following tables.

Technology Needs Assessments

To effectively meet the needs of this technology plan, we will have to investigate upgrading the Network Infrastructure to accommodate future Wireless Carts, Wireless Access, Desktop Access, Voice over Internet Telephone access, determine if we have fast enough Internet Service Provider access for web content and classroom Interaction. We would also like to look at renovating our auditorium to meet the needs of a digital classroom.

Technical Support Technical Director Network Administrator Optional Co-op Position No other future staffing will be needed.

Section 12: Increase Access The district is maintaining a student to computer ratio below 3:1 in all buildings. Students have access to computer labs in all buildings while every district classroom has at least one computer for instructional use. Adaptive and assistive technologies are in use throughout the district to accommodate our special needs students. For a more detailed description of specific future technologies to be acquired for increased access,

please refer to Section 4 Technology Integration.

IV. FUNDING & BUDGET Goal: Bangor Township Schools will maintain adequate funding to support instruction in extracurricular activities and building operations.

Section 13: Budget & Timetable Bangor Township Schools has developed a three-year technology budget. It is important to note that American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding resources have been allocated to the General Fund by the State of Michigan. We currently use funds from the following sources: IDEA, USF E-Rate, General Funds, and Fund Raising.

Section 14: Coordination of Resources It is important for Bangor Township Schools to coordinate and sustain programs for our students and the community. The district continuously seeks alternate sources of funding to support programs that improve student academic achievement. This ongoing commitment keeps the district’s academic programs in focus and on budget. Grants Bangor Township Schools will continue to seek out federal and state grants that will help in implementing our long-range technology planning. The district has leveraged some grants to support programs within the buildings. Title II, part A funds are used to help support professional development related to technology integration for teachers and administrators. Universal Service Fund (USF) E-Rate Bangor Township Schools has applied for and will continue applying for universal service discounts under the universal service support mechanism, E-Rate, which is a federal program created to provide discount reimbursements and assist most schools and libraries with obtaining affordable technologies, including telecommunications and internet access. Discounts are based on an individual schools’ enrollment in the National School Lunch program. During the course of this three year plan, the district anticipates obtaining approximately $31,000.00 annually for telecommunications, internet access, and webhosting services. For a

complete list of requested products and services, see Appendix C USF E-Rate List of Requested Products/Services.

V. MONITORING AND EVALUATION Goal: Bangor Township Schools will audit students in accordance to the board policy.

Section 15: Evaluation Bangor Township Schools will monitor this three year technology plan, as it is being implemented, to provide valuable information for future planning. Evaluations will provide two types of important information. First, we will determine if the technology plan is implemented according to the way it was originally intended. Second, by monitoring what happens as the technology plan is implemented, we hope to notice unanticipated problems that may have real impact on the ultimate success of the programs describe herein. Specific measurements will be used include staff evaluations via an annual survey developed by the district technology team. The survey will be conducted via the district’s Help Desk survey feature on an online

16.

questionnaire and data gathering instrument. Administrators routinely conduct classroom walk-throughs. By noting how technology is used in the classroom, we can quantify technology integration. Another measurable criterion for determining successful implementation of technology planning programs is a

simple checklist of completion of the action plans outlined in Section 4 Technology Integration. These action plans/tasks and associated timelines serve as a roadmap for our district. By creating a checklist from this section of the plan, we can determine how well we are meeting our predetermined goals and whether or not we are meeting the original timelines.

Section 16: Acceptable Use Policy Strategies are in place to monitor the district’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for staff and student use of our existing technologies. The district AUP was developed with parent and community input and approved by the Bangor Township School Board. Copies of the AUP are given to students during registration/enrollment and building transitions with an acceptance signature by parents or guardians required. Staff members are also required to sign an AUP upon hiring. Furthermore, the conditions, expectations and requirements of the AUP are explained annually at parent meetings, open houses, transition meetings and other parent/community

functions. A copy of the district’s AUP is included as Appendix B. Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) Bangor Township Schools has and will continue to comply with the requirements of the Children’s Internet Protection Act, as codified at 47 U.S.C. § 254(h) and (l). All Internet access within the district is in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). The district’s Internet access is provided by the Bay-Arenac ISD and is “filtered” with a continuously updated firewall and filter for protection of all our students and staff. Filter Efforts

It is the district’s intent to preserve network bandwidth and improve network response times by limiting Internet access to educational-related sites only. The filtering software used to block and filter access to the Internet from obscene and/or objectionable sites is named M86security at the Bay-Arenac ISD Broadband Data Improvement Act (BDIA)

In compliance with the BDIA of 2008, Bangor Township Schools will educate students on internet safety including appropriate on-line behavior, interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyber-bullying awareness and response.
