2. National Education Technology Plan
The National Education Technology Plan 2010 (NETP)
Be clear about the outcomes we seek.
Collaborate to redesign structures and processes for effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility.
Continually monitor and measure our performance.
Hold ourselves accountable for progress and results every step of the way (U.S. Department of Education, 2010, p. ix).
3. National Education Technology Plan, cont.
The NETP presents a model of learning powered by technology, with goals and recommendations in five essential areas:
Learning
Assessment
Teaching
Infrastructure
Productivity (U.S. Department of Education, 2010, p. x).
4. Long range plan for 2006 to 2020
Students can expect higher performance and deeper engagement in academic, real world endeavors by accessing digital tools and resources(Texas Education Agency, 2006, p. 1).
Parents can expect not only to participate more directly in their childrens education but also to improve their own knowledge as parents and citizens (Texas Education Agency, 2006, p. 1).
TEA State Technology Plan
5. Educators can expect to access and use student information on demand in order to individualize instruction (Texas Education Agency, 2006, p. 1).
Community and school board members can expect more effective and efficient use of fiscal resources and human capital (Texas Education Agency, 2006, p. 1).
TEA State Technology Plan, cont.
6. Provided approximately $30 per student per year since it was implemented in 1992.
May be used for electronic instructional materials, access to electronic instructional materials, and professional development in the use of electronic instructional materials (Texas Education Agency, 2006, p. 51).
State Budget for Technology
7. TEA State Technology Plan in GPISD
Teaching and Learning Budget: $426,430.29
Educator Preparation and Development Budget: $382,364.82
Leadership, Administration and Support Budget: $81,196.08
Infrastructure for Technology Budget: $1,472,157.81
Total: $2,362,149.00 (Galena Park ISD, 2010, p. 1).
Technology Expenditure Per Pupil: $111.69 (Galena Park ISD, 2010, p. 1).
8. The technology mission of GPISD is to integrate technology in a way that the educational program for all children in the district will:
encourage problem-solving, exploration and learning in the classroom
provide student-centered learning
provide access to technology for all students and staff
provide for both current and future needs
restructure the learning environment
encourage communication
complement current key teaching strategies
implement a comprehensive information system (Galena Park ISD, 2010, p. 3).
Current GPISD Technology Plan
9. Evaluation
A successful technology plan requires ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement, in addition to soliciting feedback from stakeholders.
The GPISD technology plan will be reviewed and updated at least quarterly.
The 18 members of the Technology Planning Committee, facilitated by the Director of Technology, will consider growth areas and strengths of the plan.
Concerted efforts with the instructional technology staff will provide frequent monitoring.
Regular meetings will be held to ensure effective two-way communication.
The director will provide monthly updates to principals during principal meetings (Galena Park ISD, 2010, p. 38).
Current GPISD Technology Plan, cont.
10. Funding spent on technology
Alignment to state standards
Evaluation of programs
Classroom technology use is on the rise
More staff is knowledgeable about technology
Areas of Success

Timeline
Areas to Address
12. The most important aspect of technology is the student
The student should be at the center of all educational technology requests and goals
The benefit to the student must outweigh the negative aspects
Student Education
13. The state gives $30 per pupil, but we spend $111.69 per pupil
Where can cuts be made?
Look at programs that are useless and get rid of them
Are we purchasing quality software that needs less upkeep?
Make sure new programs are reviewed extensively before purchase
How often do we purchase new equipment?
We should only buy new computers every five years
We should only upgrade when necessary to save money
Budget
14. Campus staff members need to be trained when new programs are purchased
Programs are not being used by staff members because they lack the skills to use it
On going training should be available monthly, so that teachers can come together to ask questions or share learned experiences with new technology
Staff Training
15. The committee will only buy quality programs and hardware with solid infrastructure and few bugs or errors
Maintenance should be inexpensive
Staff will be made aware when updates are available
Research will be done within other districts for new technology and reviews on that technology
Maintenance
16. The districts main goal is student graduation
With new technology in place, they will graduate with the knowledge and skills to help them in the career world
We can use programs that will be of use to them in real jobs today
Support District Goals
17. Technology is in place to assist the teacher with current lesson plans
Uses scaffolding to teach students new material
New programs must be aligned to the district curriculum
The technology should be reviewed in classroom settings by all stakeholders
Supplement Learning
18. Everyone has a voice and will be affected by the technology plan. Surveys should be given regularly to find the needs of the stakeholders.
Students
Parents
Teachers/Staff
Principals/Administration
Community
Stakeholders Involved
19. Review success bi-monthly with the committee
Survey campus achievements and failures
After three years adopt an updated plan that reflects new developments in technology
