The committee will meet one to two times each year to provide input and guide the technology programs.

Technology is available and accessible to the students • St. Louis – iPads for all students • Oldenburg Academy – iPads for all students • Batesville Primary School – iPads for all students • Batesville Intermediate School – iPads for all students • Batesville Middle School – MacBook Air Laptops for all students • Batesville High School - MacBook Air Laptops for all students We feel it is important to focus on teaching and learning in the classroom and the support of all technology to enhance student achievement. The next phase of technology planning will integrate the use of technology to focus on instruction. Because of the relationship that exists between BCSC, SLS, and OA, we believe all entities benefit from a collaborative process to develop the plan and carry out the action items.

The three components include: 1. Student Technology Assessment for all students in grade 5, 7, 9 CREATE Technology Plan 4 2016 All students in grade 5, 7, 9 were assessed in the fall of 2015 using the Learning.com 21st Century Skills Assessment, based on the ISTE NETS – S Standards. This allows each entity to evaluate the skills of the students and plan for instruction and practice throughout the school year. The 21st Century Skills Assessment is aligned to all 24 standards in these six strands: • Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Research and Information Fluency • Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making • Digital Citizenship • Technology Operations and Concepts Learning.com's 21st Century Skills Assessment provides deeper insight into a students' grasp of critical 21st century skills. It also helps to prepare students for their lives in our technology driven world. 2. Student Technology Curriculum All students in grade 7 at SLS and BCSC and grade 9 at OA are working through curriculum that is aligned with their assessment data from August 2015 – May 2016. The EasyTech Curriculum, based on the ISTE NETS – S Standards, ensures that all students at SLS, OA, and BCSC will be introduced to the skills necessary to prepare them for the digital rich world in which they live. 3. Teacher Assessment All teachers completed the WayFind Teachers Assessment in May of 2015. This assessment is aligned to all 20 ISTE Standards-T standards in these five strands: • Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity • Design and develop digital-age learning experiences & assessments • Model digital-age work and learning • Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility • Engage in professional growth and leadership The accurate and meaningful data ensures that our teachers grasp 21st century teaching skills. The results guide teachers through individualized, self-paced professional development and compliment other technology professional development planned for each entity. We are able to identify teachers who excel so that they can share their best practices and teaching strategies.
