Technology

= = In analyzing Texas Campus/Teacher STaR Chart data for Greenwood Forest Elementary School from the past 3 years, I determined our campus is consistently low in the Key Area of Teaching and Learning.

__The 6 targets contained in this area are as follows: __ Online Learning Student Mastery of Technology Applications (TA) TEKS Technology Applications (TA) TEKS Implementation Content Area Connections Frequency/ Design of Instructional Setting Using Digital Content Patterns of Classroom Use

//__Our campus is currently at a Developing Tech level:__//
 * Online Learning || I have customized several web-based lessons which include online TEKS-based content, resources, and learning activities that support learning objectives  ||
 * Student Mastery of Technology Applications (TA) TEKS || 26-50% of my students have mastered Technology Applications TEKS  ||
 * Technology Applications (TA) TEKS Implementation || I am aware of the TA TEKS that are appropriate for content area TEKS and occasionally include technology skills in planning and implementing instruction I use adopted TA instructional materials to assist in instruction (where applicable)  ||
 * Content Area Connections || I use technology to support content objectives  ||
