41. Recognizing that students will be required to take their TAKS tests online starting in 2007, how can the district help you become more effective in using technology tools in your classroom?

42. What is your vision for the utilization of technology tools and resources in the future? What needs have you identified? This should be a list of TEKS, strategies, or methods.

43. What technology needs do you feel you have at this time? List everything you wish you had for your teaching and learning environment. Next to each item please briefly explain how it would be used to improve student success. Examples should be specific (5 more computers, 10 more scientific calculators, 1 Smart Board, 1 Projector, 2 more digital cameras for campus, 1 document camera, etc.)

44. What specific Staff Development areas would you like to have presented for your professional growth?

45. Determine the number of students in a specific grade level (preferably one you teach). Place the Grade level you selected here.

  • Place the number of students here.
  • Count the number of computers available to students for that grade level (don't forget to include all classroom computers, lab computers, and library computers.) Place that number here.
  • Divide the number of computers INTO the number of students. This determines the computer to student ratio. Place that number here.

46. How many computers do you think you should have for this grade level?
