Asian and Pacific Islander. The average Evaluator Comments Our district has a published technology policy however, due to the funding for technology, it is a work in progress. These past few years, have been crucial to bring about technology for all schools; it is gradually taking hold but funding is an issue, due to the economy and teacher layoff in California. The technology plan is understood but lack of funding for labs and other technology and the justification for it, is limited. We do have a Career Technical Education coordinator at the district level for review and planning, but it is only for the CTE classes on campus. We are in the process of creating a better technology plan to accommodate all areas of the district, but again it is mainly based on Career Technical Education and only for those classes. Technology budget is ongoing, but primarily for CTE courses (budget comes from Carl Perkins funding and the state allocation). However, all classified staff and teachers have at least one form of technology for email, grading, data and communication.

Overall school technology budget is through CTE and funding through other sources when available (School Site Council and Pinnacle Funding).The main priority for technology use at this time, is teacher for email, attendance, grading, data and communication, as well as remediation. Technology systems are used for ZANGLE: (academic grading, attendance discipline plans, Special Education IEPs). Remediation programs: English Language Learner programs. ZANGLE is available to teachers, staff, parents and students. Our campus technology available to students and staff are: Library computers, one computer lab (another being created) and two laptop carts (PC & Mac). With limited resources of technology on campus, staff cannot always depend on this technology on a daily basis, (often times a waiting list for teachers and their classes). Technology implementation for assessment and remediation: (Read 180, Math Plus and OARS: student benchmarks and testing). Students and parents can check grades daily through ZANGLE.

A combination of technology use of resources, but traditional methods also are used by teachers and staff. Technology is used in classes for curriculum, in some form or another: Five to six teachers use technology extensively in the classroom. Quite a few teachers have access to the technology and apply it daily when available. Resources are limited on campus, and some teachers become become complacent and resort to traditional methods. Regular use of technology for curriculum (in one form or another) daily by a most teachers however, new technology is not completely integrated throughout our school. Some teachers, such as myself, have all the technology needed, but that is only a few teachers. Other teachers only have one to forms of technology in the classroom; one teacher computer and a student computer. Some teachers have digital/optical overhead projectors as well. Students use technology often, either in class or on their own with other facilities on campus.

Most students often use computers, in the school library, career center. Students also use the computer lab. Digital imaging and video production class, students are expected to use computers every day. ALL groups are aware of the technology implementation but a few are involved (technology committee) and the rest don't care. Few groups are represented. The groups consist of: Digital Media Pathway(emerging technologies); Renewable Energy Pathway and Academy. The administration chooses one administrator to handle the technology programs and technology implementation on campus, but it does not seem to be collective by all of the administration. Technology classes alone, we receive planning and implementation, which consist of the technology elective classes and one English class. All teachers are required for ZANGLE training, which consists of taking roll electronically, attendance, IEPs and English language learner support. On-going training for new teachers for Zangle and OARS .

Most of the staff take advantage of tech support, but since there are only a few techs that service the entire district, it makes it hard to receive immediate attention. We have an entire tech support staff, but it is limited since they have to service approximately 17 schools. There is one technology specialist on campus that services PCs and I will service Macs. We have a complete high speed internet system with a LAN on the entire campus. It is mainly for data. High speed internet is always up and running in all areas, with few issues. We have an extensive WAN system that reaches our district and sister schools. I am an administrator that deals with the Digital Media WAN. Everything in this area is highly sophisticated and is maintained by the district tech dept. All staff use the internet, but student use is limited Internet use in all classes and locations. All Teachers utilize email for communication and school learning. ALL teachers have email, but only a small group of students have access to email, due to a ZANGLE student based email issue.

Teachers will accept new technology but resources and funding is limited. Teachers will accept and utilize technology if received and trained properly. Technology such as: computers, VCR/DVD/ overhead projectors are available, but newer technology is being gradually implemented. Limited technology for staff and students which consist of: computers, overhead, printers, digital camcorders, but as stated above, new technology is being introduced, such as flip cameras.
