Program Narrative:
A. Consultation:
Fanihis Soaring through Technology was planned and designed for the school community by the members of D. L.
Perez Elementary School Technology Team and Accreditation Focus Group D. The members used the Technology Plan
which provided guidance for this project. The Principal and Accreditation Leadership Team provided the WASC Progress
Report, School Action Plan (SAP), and School Library Media Program Plan (Library Plan). The WASC report has
information on student experience with computers. The WASC report, the SAP, and Library Plan also outline the goals
and objectives for this project. The Assistant Principal provided information about mobile cart usage. The school faculty
and staff completed a survey on how technology is used in the classroom. Parents have submitted the Acceptable Use
Policy permitting their children to learn and to use the existing technology in a responsible manner.
B. Needs Assessment:
Demographics
D. L. Perez Elementary has 714 students which includes English language Learners, students serviced by the
Special Education Program, and students eligible for free or reduced breakfast or lunch with the School Breakfast
Program and National School Lunch Program.
Based on the Accreditation student survey, approximately a third of D. L. Perez Elementary students do not have
access to computers at home.

Technology Equipment
The ARRA funding brought into D. L. Perez Elementary two mobile computer labs, nine digital document
cameras, four interactive white boards, ten multimedia projectors, and digital camera(s). Partnership with local
community organizations and businesses helped establish a school computer lab with fifteen stations. The Passport
funding regularly distributed to GDOEs libraries, was used to purchase six digital TVs, three multimedia projectors, and
ten computer stations for the library. D.L. Perez Elementary funded the IPEVOs which are also recently available for use.
Technology Usage
2
Administrators, faculty, and staff utilize the existing equipment on a regular basis. Teachers sign out the mobile
computer labs or the smaller carts which have a digital document camera and or a multimedia projector. Table 1 shows
how often the mobile computer labs were used through most of School Year 2013-2014. Most notable is the 100% usage
during the last three months shown. The information for March to May is currently being tabulated by FSAIS. Table 2
shows the total usage count for each equipment in School Year 2013-2014.
Accreditation Focus Group D have established the schools Technology Plan and updated the School Library Media
Program Plan. A fully certified teacher-librarian with long-term intentions to be part of the D. L. Perez Elementary can
help implement the technology goals.
Purpose for Promethean Interactive Whiteboard
D.L. Perez Elementary is rich with technological equipment and Internet access. The Promethean interactive
whiteboard will enhance the use of the schools resources. The teacher-librarian with the Promethean interactive
whiteboard will help implement the plans [1] to teach information literacy and computer literacy in support of academic
achievement for all students and [2] to improve the capacity of administrators, faculty, staff and parents. The plans focus
on the following major strategies:
Expanding the resources for teaching and learning in the classroom;
Equipping teachers to use technology effectively to help students achieve high academic standards; and
Providing all students with technology and information skills they need to graduate from high school prepared for
post-secondary education and or the workforce.

and support teaching and learning;
Goal 2: To improve students academic performance by using technology as a tool in providing effective and
engaging learning experiences;
Goal 3: To ensure that the process of becoming a school powered by technology is successful.
With these goals, D. L. Perez Elementary seeks to provide on-going training for its faculty, staff, and parents; to
broaden learning experiences for the students based on the standards set by the Common Core and GDOE; and to partner
with community organizations and businesses for the maintenance of its technological resources.
School Library Plan
Part 2 of the School Library Media Program establishes the purchase of multi-media equipment, software, DVD
players, and other equipment to meet five objectives.
Objective 1: To provide technological hardware, software, [and internet access] for student and teacher use;
Objective 2: To introduce students to [basic] computer components and skills;
Objective 3: To introduce students to programs and accessories that enhance learning exploration;
4
Objective 4: To expose students to technology that will be useful in future academic and careers;
Objective 5: To encourage the use of technology and learning practices.
With these objectives, D. L. Perez Elementary seeks to support the use of technology in the classroom by
providing basic computer education and also providing opportunities to teach information literacy through research
projects and literary experiences.
