Technology Inventory Needed to Improve
The table found on the following pages lists the technology inventory the committee believes is necessary to purchase or maintain during the next three years to improve the academic achievement of the students in the district. This list was compiled after discussions with staff members, administration, and technical support personnel.
Technology Equipment
Our current “mobile classroom” solution which consists of one laptop cart per floor, per school building, contains 30 Windows XP laptops each, will require a full-scale replacement to the latest technological solution. The proposed solution is the Dell Latitude 2130 Netbooks or similar devices housed in 34-unit mobile charging cart that can be easily moved from classroom to classroom, thus allowing students to have access to on-line tools and resources during specific classroom instruction.
In order to accommodate the increasing need for Wi-Fi access by today’s electronic devices, a district-wide replacement and upgrade of our existing wireless network is required. In contrast to the original design of our current wireless network, the new wireless network must consist of one 4x4 unit per classroom, and a minimum of 2 4x4 units per gymnasium/cafeteria/media center. In preparation for PARCC and other on-line assessment programs, we will continue to increase the
total number of available “stationary” computers in Media Centers and Computer Rooms beyond the original build-out of 25-30 devices. This can be accommodated by implementing smaller form-factor computers and/or laptops in order to best utilize our available classroom space. If additional cabling/wiring is needed, we will purchase as necessary.
The current educational trend for implementing E-Readers and Assistive Technology Devices requires that we investigate and implement these solutions. To accommodate this trend, we should establish a committee dedicated to researching the many facets of delivering curriculum and supplemental resources via electronic devices, as well as discerning the proper devices that can be used such as Apple’s devices, Netbooks, Notebooks, Tablets, Nooks, Kindles, etc. Additionally, the committee needs to investigate the licensing infrastructure of e-books, the amount and available support for managing all devices, security of the content on each devices, portability of devices, and insurance requirements to handle breakage/theft/loss/damage.
Software for Curricular Support and Filtering
The district has implemented, and will continue to maintain, the SPAM filter, the Web Content Filter, the Wireless Access Point filter, and the filters available through our Antivirus program which include download/upload filtering and application filtering.
We will continue to renew licensing and perform upgrades to the software used within our classrooms that either support the learning environment or are directly used as curriculum. We will continue to investigate the latest software trends, and purchase as necessary, such
solutions that will enhance the technological strength of our staff and students as well as their educational strength. This can include either stand-alone software installed on a computer, or on-line SaaS solutions (Software as a Service).
Technology Maintenance, Telecommunications, Technical Support
We will investigate the feasibility, and possibly implement additional technical support personnel. The demand for technology support has increased substantially over the past several years, and as we further implement technological solutions for today’s 21st
Century Classroom, the need for additional personnel is apparent.
The district will continue to renew/maintain our existing contracts in support of our technology including maintenance, upgrades, Internet access, phone systems, video surveillance systems, keycard access systems, and our existing technology support person.
The district will continue to maintain a separate budget line item for purchasing technical supplies. Facilities Infrastructure
The district will continue to maintain and support our SmartBoard initiatives. This includes the continued purchase and installation of SmartBoards, ceiling-mounted projectors, and laptops. The district will continue to purchase and maintain our Video Surveillance initiative.
The district will continue to maintain our Keycard Access Control System for all school entry doors.
The district will continue to maintain and/or upgrade our existing phone/voicemail system. An upgrade would consist of implementing Voice over IP (VoIP) with a Unified Message system. The district will continue to maintain other infrastructure needs such as printers, faxes, and copiers,
as necessary. Other
The district will continue to find new ways to provide information to parents/guardians using technology on a timely basis (our “Going Green” Initiative).
The district will continue to support the needs of our staff, students, and administrators in the area of technology as the face of technology and its impact on education continue to change.
The district will investigate other trending solutions such as Cloud services, and BYOD, and their impact on our educational needs.

Section 2
Needs Assessment
Based on information presented to us through the PARCC assessments, coupled with our internal evaluations of network performance and the demand for increased throughput, we will proceed with the following:
Our fiber optic and wireless networks will continue to be upgraded which serve as the backbone of our infrastructure. Media center accessibility and access to wireless services will reach more students as the professional and student body advance their knowledge and commitment to ever changing available shareable resources through the internet. In correlation to tighter budgets, lesser funding and modern “Green” initiatives taking place in schools across the country, we will further proceed as follows:
To further our communication and outreach efforts to parents/guardians, students, and staff, we continue working on decreasing our paper forms and mass-mailings by
developing digital forms and resources that take advantage of email availability and Portal accessibility. We have already moved our marking period Report Cards from paper-based mailings to being available in the Parent Portal. Our commitment is to establish a greater-reaching “Green” initiative as technology further enables our ability to digitally
communicate and collaborate with the community.
With the ongoing digitizing of educational content and the apparent need to access that content from anywhere at any time, we are further investigating and working on the following potentials:
We have begun to research BYOD and 1:1 initiatives in order to ascertain their feasibility, probability of success, downfalls and obstacles, support and maintenance, etc. These initiatives, if proven educationally beneficial and manageable, will be introduced over the next 3 years beginning at the High School.
With the increased availability of electronic textbooks and other digital content, we are looking at the possible implementation of Digital Resources over the next 3 years which would include the purchasing and implementation of electronic textbooks and digital libraries, including the purchasing and implementation of E-Readers or other types of Digital Devices. This program will focus a student’s ability to access our digital content from any device or from any location at any time in order to enhance their ability to learn and study at the click of a button.
Section 3
Goals and Objectives for 2013-2016
Over the course of our previous six Technology Plans, we have been extremely successful in developing infrastructure and providing equipment within our District. The State’s goals suggest that the district achieve a minimum ratio of 4:1 multimedia devices to student, with the ultimate goal of 1:1. Our district’s ratio is approximately 1.6:1 at this time.
The State’s goals further recommend that local districts provide high-speed access to the Internet, email use, and timely replacement of obsolete equipment, which are all in place in our District. We are committed to maintaining and upgrading equipment as necessary.
In this current plan, we will continue to redefine our focus and goals. Over the past three years, we shifted our focus away from the “acquisition of technology equipment” to becoming more “effective users” of the available technology. We intend to continue to raise the bar for our District in embracing the 21st Century Skills and how technology integration will motivate students with engaging, interactive experiences in the classroom, and prepare them for online testing in 2014-2015. To this end, we have established these goals for 2013-2016:
Goal 1:
Technology use will be integrated into all curricular areas to assist students in meeting District, State, and Common Core academic content standards to excel in our global society using 21st century skills and be prepared to participate in online testing in 2014-2015.
Goal 2:
All educators, including administrators, will participate in innovative professional
development practices that promote strategic growth for all educators in collaboration with other educators, content experts, and students, to attain the 21st century skills and
knowledge necessary to help educators enable students to achieve their goals.
Goal 3:
The online, interactive resource page will be available for ongoing professional development concentrating on technology integration.
Goal 4:

Professional Development
The professional development activities are coordinated by Diane Schulthes, Curriculum Coordinator.
The Team for Technology Integration (TTI) was established in the district under the 2007-2010 Technology Plan. The Team consists of two or three volunteer teachers from each school who have experience in using technology in the classroom. The Team meets to share ideas, plan presentations, and investigate new and emerging technologies and software. The team is coordinated by Martha Rosolen, Educational Technology Coordinator.
Team members work with teachers to help them refine the ways they integrate technology
currently, discover new and innovative ways to continue to integrate technology into lesson plans, and provide support when using software and equipment.
Administrators have access to professional development in a number of ways:
An in-district educational leadership development program
District professional development courses
District and consortium sponsored workshops
Participation in conventions and workshops by NJPSA
Ongoing, sustained professional development for educators will continue as follows:
Two two-hour after-school Professional Development meetings
Two half-day Professional Development meetings
Two full-day district Professional Development meetings
Presentations at one faculty meeting per month by members of the Team for Technology Integration or other staff members
One-on-one support for educators by members of the TTI committee
Instruction on equipment and electronic textbook support materials provided by the vendor upon purchase; for example, SmartBoard training and Harcourt Think Central
Webinars and podcasts sponsored by NJDOE
Educational Technology Training Centers (ETTC) offerings
Webinars
Vendor training programs
Access to manufacturer’s help centers through vendors/suppliers.
Access to publications and Knowledge Bases sponsored by manufacturers.
Students who require specific assistive technologies are identified by the Child Study Team and the need is indicated in their Individual Education Plan. Teachers are notified of the students who would benefit from these technologies and provided with instruction on how the students will be using the technology (example: listening devices, pulse pens, iPods, iPads, Braille readers, etc.) Other assistive technology such as magnifiers and readers have been demonstrated to the general teaching population to make them aware of devices that will help students in their classes who might not be identified with specific requirements.
The district-owned assistive technology devices will be explored as to how they can further be infused into the lessons which are created for the appropriate students. Needs are based on the IEPs of the students which are served by the in-class support teachers. In-class support teachers are responsible for the identification of equipment and technologies to serve the student
population as needed.
In addition, the South Bergen Jointure offers a number of courses/workshops on using technology to differentiate instruction and in the use of assistive technology.
When surveyed, the staff requested training in certain areas.

Sections 6 & 7
Evaluation Plan & Revision Process
The Technology Committee feels that evaluation and reporting of results are critical steps in regularly evaluating the successful integration of technology into curricula and instruction in order to help students meet the standards to which they must strive.
Several accounting measures will be used to evaluate the extent to which goals, activities, resources, and services are effective.
To ensure that all teachers are integrating technology into their lessons to meet the standards, principals and supervisors will review lesson plans regularly and during classroom walk-throughs, observe the following:
How and when technology is integrated into lessons
How and when teachers are assigning authentic assessment techniques to evaluate student use of technology
How effective the technology chosen is applicable to our goals and the lesson
Administrators, principals, supervisors, teachers, and guidance personnel analyze the standardized test scores to assess improvement in student achievement. Areas that need continued
improvement are identified and steps are taken to incorporate appropriate remediation. The District has purchased licenses for the use of several Internet-based programs, such as
Learning.com, ASSISTments, Brain Pop, and SAT Prep. The components of these programs are used to evaluate student skill levels with pre-tests, design skill building practice with the student’s needs in mind, and measure the student’s growth throughout the year. The main areas of focus are the tested areas mandated by the State.
The Technology Committee will also employ the use of a district-generated year-end Technology Assessment Survey to determine the progress made within the year and to identify areas of needed improvement for staff members based on our Goals. A copy of the Survey which will be done electronically through GoogleDocs is found on the next page.
Based on the results of the survey, changes in proposed professional development plans can be made in conjunction with the District’s Professional Development Committee.
Current trends in technology will be studied carefully throughout the term of the plan and the current state of the district’s facilities and infrastructure will be evaluated on a regular basis to determine whether changes need to be made in these areas. Proposals will be submitted to the Board of Education for approval as necessary.
