5 Executive Summary Purpose The purpose of this document is to articulate a vision and road map for Austin ISD. The identified Goals, Objectives and Strategies use technology as a cornerstone resource to improve student success. Developing substantial and well-grounded technology proficiency skills, particularly in a relevant context manner within a rigorous curriculum, fosters high level thinking skills that are essential for academic progress, college readiness and workplace success. Building the capacity of teachers and all staff to utilize technology is vital. This plan provides a foundation for the improvement of technology within the district so that the presence of technology can become a financially sustainable model. In other words, this plan makes the case for Where we want to be and how we will get there. From the National Education Plan Update Specifically, we must embrace innovation, prompt implementation, regular evaluation, and continuous improvement. The programs and projects that work must be brought to scale so every school has the opportunity to take advantage of our successes. Our regulations, policies, actions, and investments must be strategic and coherent. The opportunities are limitless, borderless, and instantaneous. Background This plan is based on information drawn from many sources including: - Austin ISD Strategic Plan The State of Texas Long-Range Plan for, National Educational Plan National Educational Standards for Students and Teachers - Texas Applications TEKS and Educator Standards Governance Committee A review of literature identifying best practices A survey of school site hardware and instructional media Ongoing dialogue related to the needs of teachers and administrators. School site meetings Parameters This Long-Range Plan is driven by the state curriculum standards and supports the educational mission and instructional goals of Austin ISD and by the No Child Left Behind Act of Specific attention is given to addressing student standards for technology as defined by the Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), required in the Texas Education Code, Section The Applications TEKS found in 19 TAC Chapter 126 describe what students should know and be able to do using technology. As a part of the enrichment curriculum, these TEKS are to be used as guidelines for providing instruction. The goal of the Applications TEKS is for students to gain technology-based knowledge and skills and to apply them to all curriculum areas at all grade levels. The plan stresses the importance of ongoing and sustained staff development in the integration of technology into the curriculum for teachers, principals, administrators, and school library media personnel to further the effective use of technology in the classroom or library media center. It also is consistent with the recommendations for LEAs as defined by the Texas Long-Range Plan for in the areas of Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Administration and, and Infrastructure for, as well as the e-rate applications guidelines, and other state standards, such as Applications Standards for beginning Teachers.

6 Needs Assessment Assessment Process: A variety of processes have been used to determine the district technology needs that are addressed in the Austin Independent School District's Plan. A diverse group of AISD stakeholders from the Governance Committee have provided input for this plan. Representative members of this committee include staff from Curriculum, Principals, Human Resources, Procurement, Finance,, Career & Technical Education, and Assessment. Suggestions have been made to include new and continuing initiatives to support student achievement, teacher productivity, professional development, and projects that will improve the technology infrastructure and support systems. Austin ISD reviews campus data in a variety of formats to assess overall and campus-specific needs. As a major component of this data review is the Texas STAR Chart. The District requires that every campus discuss, submit, and review a Texas STAR Chart based on the Teacher STaR Chart as part of the technology planning process for both the campus and the District. Furthermore, additional data is collected from an annual employee survey that measures staff attitudes and reports of technology implementation and integration. This data is comprised of a variety of surveys collected, compiled, and disseminated through the Austin ISD Department of Program Evaluation. In addition to staff input, student needs are directly measured in two ways. This year, two online Literacy Assessments have been administered. The 5th grade assessment was provided by Learning.com and 8th grade was provided by the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA). They are both administered in May. Both assessments measure the level of technology proficiency from students in these two grade levels. The assessments are interactive online assessments that include authentic software simulations as well as multiple choice items. Another source of student data is the student exit survey given to 12th grade students. There are a number of items related to technology on the survey. Lastly, we do have an inventory of district purchased technology that provides us with information on the location of all technology equipment, particularly that which is nearing "end of life".

8 What are students expected to know about the use of technology? -K-8 Texas Applications standards (Tech App TEKS) -Foundations, Info Acquisition, Problem Solving, Communication -ISTE/NETS - National Standards for Educational -Adopted K-8 textbook is online Easy Tech - Learning.com How are students doing? Two separate interactive online assessments are given to all 5th and 8th grade students each spring. 88% of 8th grade students scored basic proficiency or higher. Strengths were evident in Creativity and Innovation, Communication and Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making, and Operations and Concepts. Areas of need include Research & Information Fluency and Digital Citizenship. 72% of 5th grade students scored basic proficiency or higher. Performance was consistent across key areas. Average District scores for 5th grade outperformed the report and global groups by 10 points or more. Core technology activities for each grade level are being developed and aligned with the core content Curriculum Road Maps. Teachers are being provided with curriculum to teach grade appropriate Digital Citizenship skills. EDUCATOR AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT What are educators expected to know about the use of technology? All teachers are expected to master the K-8 Tech TEKS (Foundations, Info Acquisition, Problem Solving, Communication) plus the additional strand dealing with pedagogy and professional development. Teachers plan, organize, deliver and evaluate instruction for all students that incorporates the effective use of technology for teaching and integrating the Applications TEKS into the curriculum. Also the ISTE National Standards for Educational (NETS for Teachers) guide our professional development and use of technology for teaching and learning. All staff is required to complete an online or face to face cyber safety course. Teachers are required to deliver grade appropriate cyber safety lessons to their students. How are educators doing? Campus STAR Charts indicate that most campuses are between Level 2 and 3 on the 1 to 4 scale teacher STAR chart averages show a 1 point increase each in the areas of Educator Preparation & Development and Leadership, Administration &. This moved the teacher average for Leadership, Administration & into the Advanced Tech range. In 2009 all teachers received a laptop which has increased personal technology use. These laptops will be refreshed during the summer of In 2011, the staff cloud was rolled out and provided staff with resources that could be used anywhere, anytime, from any device. As a district, it is evident that more teachers are beginning to use rich media like Discovery Streaming to deliver digital content to the classroom. To further facilitate the use of educationally appropriate media in the classroom, the district has implemented YouTube For Education for all students. The use of Web 2.0 tools for online publishing and collaboration continues to increase. The technology professional development content has been revised to provide time to develop activities and lesson plans that support the curriculum that they already have to teach. This serves to make professional development relevant to curricular goals and supportive of student achievement. What professional development opportunities do teachers have? A variety of technology professional development is offered for teachers through The Human Capital Platform. Courses are delivered through face to face, online and job-embedded approaches. The content of the professional development sessions now incorporates a segment of the total time to develop or expand on lesson plans or activities that will support curriculum through the use of the technology topic being taught. Productivity and other online resources are also supported through the use of our subscription to Atomic Learning. This resource provides online tutorials for many district applications as well as popular Web 2.0 tools. Upon request, campuses are also provided professional development support for customized training on district technology resources and best practices on how to integrate technology resources into instructional delivery, remediation, gauging understanding, and formative assessments. What other events or programs occur? -SXSW Edu -Austin Partners in Education -CTE/ Pathways -Robotics -Blended Learning / Flipped Classrooms -Virtual Field Trips -Discovery Education Network (DEN) Star Ambassador Program INFRASTRUCTURE The goal of the AISD network infrastructure is to provide a reliable, cost effective, high speed infrastructure to make

9 information available to properly authenticated students, staff, and parents at any time, at any place, and on any appropriate device. The infrastructure must meet these goals: Provide high speed bandwidth to each facility, campus and classroom within the District Ensure that AISD network resources are available via wired or wireless connections. BYOD access to needed resources. Provide a secure transmission path for all sensitive data. Provide data standards to support interoperability and accessibility for all users. Provide equitable access to e-learning technologies for all users. Provide reliable access to all computers and systems Since AISD is a large, rapidly growing District, coordination of information resources across departments and campuses and providing seamless, transparent access to users provides significant design challenges. Additionally, as technology continues to rapidly evolve, and since there is no way to predict the products available three or four years from now, hardware, software, and network architectures must be flexibly designed and follow commonly accepted standards. This chapter outlines our current architecture and the proposed evolution over the next few years. Current Status Current infrastructure state includes: Utilization of a high speed, high capacity regional fiber network (GAATN) for connections to all District campuses and administrative facilities Multiple redundant 10 GB network connections between all Data Centers Multiple high capacity fiber paths between all schools 1G/10Gbps redundant fiber backbone in each campus. Six 100M or 1Gbps Ethernet network connections per classroom Fixed Wireless b/g or a/b/g/n network access at all campuses. 60% of all classrooms have dedicated n dual radio access points to facilitate 1:1 testing, BYOD and other high density wireless connections. Air-conditioned wiring closets for main data frame (MDF) closets. Dual Internet connections to dual ISP s offer high speed Internet capacity of 3Gbps burstable to 12Gbps. A connection to the University of Texas provides Internet services from the Internet2 consortium. District- wide Lotus Notes , secure instant messaging and collaboration software One telephone (PBX or VOIP) per classroom (for a total of handsets District-wide) IP based voice trunks connecting each campus PBX across the WAN network Server-based and IP-manageable voic PA/Intercom in each classroom IP based video capabilities at each campus Technical The following technical support is currently in place. 25 full time computer technicians are assigned to a cluster of campuses. Technical support requests are submitted online or called into the Help Desk. Technicians in the Desktop group prioritize and respond. Technical support agreements are purchased with hardware purchases. Existing The following technology is currently in place: District-Wide 3Gbps Internet connection, burstable to 12Gbps, via dual Internet Service Providers connected at dual locations within the District. 1Gbps Ethernet connections to classroom computers. District based and cloud based web servers in place providing district and campus web sites. Written policies in place on acceptable use of the Internet, internet filtering software is in place. District based and cloud based file storage space available for every student and employee. accounts for all staff and students. Interactive video conferencing equipment available to campuses. Online meeting software housed on our server (Adobe Acrobat ConnectPro) Wireless network for mobile computing available at every campus. Mobile computer labs at every school (COWS - Computers On Wheels) Multimedia projectors available at each campus. Digital tools such as video and still cameras available at each campus. Digital media delivery to every classroom (digital video). 30,000 student computers 6,000 teacher laptop computers Classroom

10 Every classroom in the District is wired with a minimum of six 1Gbps Ethernet drops. Two are used for classroom wireless access points, three are used for computers with one is reserved for a printer. Additionally, each classroom has a telephone, a PA drop, and a coaxial video drop. The District has a student to computer ratio of approximately 4.5 students per computer. The District has approximately one laser printer for every four classrooms. Austin ISD Innovation Stations Classroom multimedia presentation system. Projector, computer, document camera, speakers, microphones, integrated networked control system. The student and teacher computer architectures use either a variation of the Microsoft Windows or Apple operating systems. The video drop is connected to a television which provides access to the cable network. MediaCAST, an interoperable, digital content management and video streaming system was installed and configured to eliminate the need for coax cable and televisions. This system allows our district to distribute locally produced content as well as content from local area channels. Digital content in PDF, MP3, MP4, DOC, and other recognizable file formats can also be uploaded and shared with district users, with the option to have the files no longer accessible to users at a future expiration date. Library The campus libraries use the SIRSI system for electronic checkout and inventory. They also have multiple drops used for circulation desk, online search and research. There are multiple network drops, wireless access points and computers in every library. Computer Labs There are multiple labs in the secondary schools. All elementary campuses have at least one computer lab. Each computer lab has a minimum of one wireless access point and multiple network Ethernet connections. Mobile Labs All campuses have mobile computer labs. Austin ISD is shifting its investment from desktop computers to mobile computers especially laptop / tablet type devices. Campus Network Each campus has a Local Area Network that interconnects the classroom drops, wireless access points, VOIP ports, security cameras, etc. with a multi-switch stack via dual 10 Gbps Ethernet connections back to the MDF. Each campus is connected to the WAN via either 2.5Gbps RPR or 10Gbps REP connections. Additionally, every campus has a telephone switch and a public address system. Wide Area Network Austin ISD owns and operates the District WAN. It uses a high capacity regional fiber optic network provided by the Greater Austin Area Telecommunications Network (GAATN) of which AISD is one of seven partners. GAATN is comprised of approximately 300 miles of high capacity fiber optic cable located across the city of Austin. GAATN carries voice, data, and video across a backbone of 9 fiber sub-rings and 2 fiber Super-rings. These fiber rings interconnect all AISD campuses and provide redundancy in the event of a fiber cut. The network electronics installed on this fiber backbone support the REP/RPR network at OC192 10Gbps. The WAN also provides connectivity to the Internet through dual 2 Gbps redundant connections diversely routed into the University of Texas and Time Warner. AISD is currently implementing network upgrades at more than 45 campuses. We will be converting from RPR to Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP). This will allow each campus to have dual 10Gb connections to the core WAN. Other upgraded features include providing 1Gbs Power over Ethernet (POE) network drops to support VOIP and other applications. All campuses have wireless networks that have been upgraded to offer a/b/g/n and plans are being finalized to support upgrades to ac technology to support the future 1:1 and BYOD initiatives. Software software is generally identified and vetted by staff in curricular positions as well as by academic need. At the point that the software is identified, staff in the technology department performs a detailed analysis to determine if the identified software will function properly within our network environment and available or identified hardware. District standard software titles are published and updated periodically. As software vendors make their applications more available via the web, it has become our preferred method of accessing the vendor's content. As students and teachers are able to access many of our technology resources via the cloud, we encourage this secure method to be utilized with new and/or updates to current software. This allows our staff to access their resources via a single sign-on format and from anywhere, anytime, and using any device. Network storage Currently there is 90Tb of storage available for students and staff on two SAN devices. All staff, students, and individual campuses each have discrete areas to store, retrieve and share documents. Access to stored information is regulated

11 according to the user identity and role. In addition, each student has 30GB of cloud based storage via Google Networks. Security The district security architecture is a tiered system providing many levels of protection including but not limited to, unauthorized access, virus and malware detected and prevention, user authentication and authorization, and logging of security events. Users are the key to AISD technology security. The specific security technologies in place include Anti-Virus software that allows for virus control and spyware management, network firewalls and access control lists, and segmented networks for data protection; however, users must be aware of security, and protect their individual user IDs. Additionally, Internet filtering is implemented to eliminate access to inappropriate content on the Internet. The District is planning on the implementation of next generation firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, security information and event management and vulnerability scanning tools to further enhance data security within the District. Identity The District uses the Novell Identity Management System to provision and manage user accounts. This system is connected to the HR and student databases and allows for automatic provisioning and de-provisioning of any and all users. Additionally, most users roles are created and constantly updated via this system. All of our new systems are required to connect to the identity system for authenticating and authorizing users through either Active Directory (AD), LDAP or SAML connections. We have been able to reach a point where we have nearly all systems using this identity system for authentication and authorization. Disaster Recovery The district has contingency processes in place; for example, the wide-area backbone network is built to withstand fiber cuts, power loss, and most equipment failures. In addition, district super nodes, and the NOCC have both battery and generator backup systems in place. The district has a disk backup and de-duplication system for the backup of all critical application and file server data at an alternate site. The district is currently capable of resuming essential IFAS (the district's financial system) and TEAMS (the district's student information system), operations within three business days of disruption of operations at CAC. Backup batteries and gas powered generators supply the telephony system. However, the district is preparing the WAN and LAN connections for VOIP migrations in the future. This will reduce the single point of failure in the current telephony system. Attention to contingency planning will be a top priority this year as the new enterprise applications are implemented. Additionally, the district is preparing to upgrade and enhance its key data centers with updated UPS capacity, upgraded generators and power infrastructure to minimize the downtime in the event of a power loss. With the district s continued use of VMware to run its server infrastructure, the large WAN we have in place, and a direct to disk backup solution, we hope to mitigate any likely disaster that we may encounter, and ensure a rapid recovery of effected systems. Facilities The district currently has six data centers, located throughout the District. All of these facilities are operating at or very close to maximum utilization of space, power, and/or air conditioning capacity. In addition, only the NOCC and COA facilities have a fire suppression system and the NOCC, COA, and the Operations Center have centralized battery backup power. Planning for improved data centers with generator and UPS backup power, and the use of power efficient server equipment is a priority for the coming years. Server Infrastructure Due to the constraints of our facilities, AISD has made a very large investment in VMware for our server environment. This has allowed AISD to continue to expand its technology offerings while managing our physical constraints. This has also allowed for rapid provisioning of servers, reduced the costs for server, a/c, space, and power. With the addition of virtual Nexus switches, AISD will be able to extend WAN security directly to individual VM servers regardless of the host server they reside on. AISD plans to increase our investment in VMware, and to provide more a secure and flexible environment and a more resilient disaster recover option. Green Computing Initiatives Due to our data center constraints, AISD continues to evaluating energy efficiency in all of its Data Center purchases, and will continue to do so. Our investment in VMware, blade servers and a SATA based SAN, have provided significant saving to the District while improving our service offerings. Additionally, AISD plans to implement a Desktop Power management solution in partnership with Austin Energy. Digital Asset Management System and Digital Asset Distribution System A new Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) will provide a series of robust media servers that will store digital assets for teaching and learning. This will include all file formats including video. These assets will be linked in AIMS to the Curriculum Road Maps (CRMs). The MediaCAST system provides the distribution of video over the internet. The system delivers live or on demand video feeds over the network to computers and projectors eliminating the need for coax cable and televisions.
