Pre-Planning Vision: Mission: Our goal is to have all teachers using technology in a fully integrated manner. Technology should not be the "second" thought, it should be a natural tool used for the acquisition of content and skills. Technology will be integrated with all disciplines to prepare our students and ourselves for living, learning, working and contributing in the 21st Century. The mission of the Reynoldsburg City Schools is to enable students to use information and technology to become lifelong learners so that they will be knowledgeable and productive citizens in the worldwide community. Technology Planning Committee: Review Current Technology Plan Describe goals that were met: Reynoldsburg Schools views technology development as a cyclical process, and the goals articulated in previous plans reflect this. As such, previous goals are still relevant and continue to be ongoing (not met). As the district increases its technology footprint, the technology management strategy must evolve accordingly. We are not committed to technology for technology s sake. We are Unexpected committed to creating the best K-12 educational experience in the state. We believe technology is critical to contemporary education, but it is only one component to an effective outcomes, strategy.we aim to help teachers by providing them with tools that allow them to understand each student s needs and programs to help them provide students with the differentiated new needs: learning experiences that will cater to their individual learning needs. Goals that are no longer relevant: The school views technology development as a cyclical process, and the goals articulated in previous plans reflect this. As such, previous goals are still relevant and continue to be ongoing (not met). Goals that Our technology management strategy has evolved as the district increased its technology footprint. Specifically, we are shifting from technology merely being used a test support tool, still need to to a more integrated part of our educational program. This is based on the fact that nothing has a greater impact on student than the quality of instruction they receive, which is directly be related to teacher effectiveness. According, our technology goals are related to equipping our instructional staff with the tools that allow them to understand each students needs and addressed: provide them with the differentiated learning experiences that will challenge them to succeed. Phase 2. Curriculum Alignment & Instructional Integration Goal: Promoting Student Proficiency Improving Teaching and Learning

3 Phase 3. Technology Policy, Leadership and Administration Goal: Technology for Maximizing Student Achievement Developing Policy If other, please specify: Goal The district will promote policies to ensure that students, teachers, and parents have access to the technology at the school, in media labs and classrooms, to succeed academically and be engaged in the educational program. The school has identified barriers to student access to technology and will develop policies consistent with the technology initiatives described in Section 2, and Needs Assessment: will provide Internet access to PowerSchool. Where Are We Now? ii. Adoption Where Do We Want iii. Exploration To Be? Created Thu Dec 20 18:39:43 GMT 2012 Thu Dec 20 18:39:43 GMT 2012 By: Strategy: Barriers to Technology Access Through implementation of this strategy, the district will ensure that parents, students, and stakeholders have adequate access to technology at the school and do not experience barriers in technology access. The district will provide surveys and feedback forms online to parents to ensure that both parents and students have adequate access to technology. Through the ongoing School Improvement Process, the district will analyze the use of technology and will ensure all input provided is analyzed and addressed. Position(s) Responsible: The district will provide face to face professional development in a staff meeting or other teacher in-service opportunity for staff and other stakeholders to Identify PD share feedback on the technology policies as well as any perceived barriers to technology access. The school will compile these results to develop a plan Methods/Formats: for professional development for staff, students, and parents. from the feedback that is received to ensure all stakeholders are able to access and maximize the use of instructional technology in teaching and learning throughout the building.

Technology Infrastructure, Management and Support Goal: Bandwidth Infrastructure Networking, Internet and Telecommunications If other, please specify: Goal Concurrent with expanding wireless access, the school will seek to increase the capacity of Internet bandwidth to better-serve instruction; specifically, to ensure that 100% of classrooms are able to access the content they need simultaneously. Needs Assessment: Where Are We Now? Where Do We Want To Be? The school's current bandwidth does not allow multiple classrooms to stream content from the Internet simultaneously. ii. Some iv. Increase Created Thu Dec 20 18:46:10 GMT 2012 Thu Dec 20 18:50:05 GMT 2012 By: Strategy: Increase Internet Bandwidth Evaluation Process: Position(s) Responsible: This strategy will allow the district to improve staff, student, and parent access to quality online resources and ensure that instruction in all classrooms can be successful in utilizing internet available tools. Once the district has contracted for enhanced internet bandwidth, this strategy will be evaluated through quarterly tests of the ability of multiple classrooms to download and stream content from the internet. The district will identify a vendor and will contract to receive enhanced internet bandwidth by 01/15/2013. The district will measure the implementation of this strategy against the proposed deadline and will measure the success of this strategy through the ability of multiple classrooms to download and stream new media rich content from the internet.

5 Year 3: Identify PD The district will provide face to face professional development in a staff meeting or other teacher in-service opportunity on the available online Methods/Formats: instructional resources, as well as information on how the enhanced internet bandwidth allows staff to take advantages of these resources. from the feedback that is received to ensure all stakeholders are able to access and maximize the use of instructional technology in teaching and learning throughout the district. Professional Development will ensure that all stakeholders are able to take advantage of instructional technology throughout the district.

To create a fiber network to connect our buildings to the district data center and internet. The district buildings are connected at 1gb and 100mb, and the increasing demand i. None Where Do We Want To Be?iii. Researching Created Thu Dec 20 19:08:39 GMT 2012 Thu Dec 20 19:08:39 GMT 2012 By: Strategy: Increase internal network access speeds Position(s) Responsible: Once the new fiber solution is in place, the buildings will be able to leverage newer transceiver technology and connect at 10gb. This will allow access to higher quality video, high definition video conferencing, streaming and other resources. The current connect speed is inadequate. Our buildings are not able to take advantage of media rich resources, as the 100mb connection is easily saturated which negatively impacts the whole building's technology experience. The district is looking to have fiber run to connect each building. The fiber will support increased bandwidth at a fraction of the cost. The fiber solution will be purchased as a managed service.
