The Purpose of this online learning community is to improve technology use and integration in our campus by sharing and collaborating. We will look into the Technology Applications TEKS to address area of concern, use the STAR Chart information to monitor our progress in technology in the classroom and discuss the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020. I would like this wiki to be used as a tool where teachers come for answers to their problems in technology being taught in their classrooms. This is the Campus STaR Chart for the past 3 years for Ramirez Elementary.

2007-08:**12** 2006-07: **10** || 2008-09:**Developing Tech** 2007-08: **Developing Tech** 2006-07: **Developing Tech** || It looks like we have went up two points from the first year to the second but we still stayed in the developing tech classification. I think this is true for most of my campus, but I think that we need to start integrating technology into the classroom. || 2007-08: **10** 2006-07: **12** || 2008-09: **Developing Tech** 2007-08: **Developing Tech** 2006-07: **Developing Tech** || From 12 points to ten and back to 12 points, since teachers claim to have had less professional development training. We have been adding teachers and all have been young teachers that come with great technology skills. || 2007-08: **14** 2006-07: **15** || 2008-09: **Developing Tech** 2007-08: **Developing Tech** 2006-07: **Advanced Tech** || In this area we went from 15 pts. to 14 and that brought us down to developing tech. Teachers in our school scored Leadership and Support for Online Learning with a 4 in the 06-07 STaR Chart. || 2007-08: **15** 2006-07: **16** || 2008-09: **Advanced Tech** 2007-08: **Advanced Tech** 2006-07: **Advanced Tech** || Our infrastructure in RGCCISD is very good. Not just because this is a new school, but because overall all schools in this district have very good connections to the internet. We have a rapid responding tech support and almost all our teachers have document cameras, projectors, and other fairly new technology equipment. ||
