Although we have a district
Tech Plan, it is outdated and
will need to be updated for
the most recent upgrades to
the district. Technology use is
significantly different from use
3 years ago and there is a
growing need for other
stakeholders to provide input
for these documents.
(citation) In my position as a
support coach I see the
progression towards cloud
based learning and
interactivity with Office 365
and G-Suite Tools. There is
still wide range of usage
across the district and many
of the schools have
purchased devices to provide
for these upgrades.

upgrades for the systems we
use at our school sites and

team that plans and
implements the collaboration
of community and school

perfect and I think that there
is still a long journey ahead
especially with the sheer
speed at which technology is
advancing. (Citation)

Technology is more
accessible in our district due
to several factors. There is
still room for growth however,
the changes warrant a level

and time) into our LMS called

begun to change thinking with
regards to access of
technology and consistent
use of it throughout the day.
Another reason is the
promise of our
superintendent to provide
devices at the school site for
students. It has not happened
at all sites but the importance
and effectiveness of these
devices has become front
facing this past year. At site
that do not have as much
technology there are pockets
of teachers that are getting
grants for their students and
families. Each school has
justification to improve and
upgrade their technology and
it is completely dependent on
the administrator.
Our district has provided
face-to-face courses on the
tech uses of our adopted
content series texts and
resources. In the math and
ELA offices, the coaches
have referred to these
resources all year and some
sites are taking advantage of
them. Most sites have
allocated funds for devices
such as projectors to either
upgrade or enhance their
daily routines. I have seen
the newly built school sites
have the most updated and
accessible devices for the
whole district; ceiling
mounted projectors, drop
down screens, amplification
sounds systems in the class,
and wall control access. In
other sites they have

This is another area where I

4-5 years we have made
drastic changes to build a
sustainable infrastructure
within our district. At times it
seems that our use exceeds
our internet bandwidth and
our network stalls or goes

there are continuing
conversations about the need
for successful use of
technology on devices like
iPads and Chromebooks as
well as computer labs and
mobile labs. The myPD
system was a 4 year grant

funding source allowed for
