BEYOND IUSD Daily technology use is a top-five indicator of better discipline, better attendance, and increased college attendance. -Project RED, 2010 In IUSD, less than 5% of elementary students report using technology daily. - Speak Up Survey, 2012 New Tech High Students outperformed peers on State tests, persistence and success in postsecondary education, and confidence in their career skills including collaboration. Students were highly engaged and satisfied with their experiences. - Hanover Research, New Tech Schools and Student Achievement 9
IUSD TECHNOLOGY TODAY Tremendous, immediate needs for infrastructure, classroom tools, learning resources, professional development, and support. Exponentially growing demand fueled by increasing enrollment, educational shifts, and the break-out front reaching critical mass. Inconsistency and uncertainty rooted in sustained funding cuts and dependence on individual, substantial contributions of time and resources. 10
CURRENT STATE: INFRASTRUCTURE Nearly all of IUSD s critical network and server hardware are well beyond end-of life. Bandwidth is inadequate to support basic functions, like streaming video, for a large number of users. Wireless access is inconsistent and insufficient to support student learning. Aging equipment and inadequate monitoring tools have lead to frequent, disruptive interruptions in technology use. 11
CURRENT STATE: LEARNING RESOURCES Educational Software Typically purchased with one-time, school-based funds. Schools struggle with support, access, and integration. Enterprise Systems Some systems desperately in need of upgrade/replacement. Lack of integration creates redundant work. Hardware Computer Match Program has diminished to 40% of what it was 4 years ago. 40% of the District s 9,500 Computers will be due for replacement next year. Current Computer to Student Ratio ranges from 3:1 to 20:1. 12
CURRENT STATE: SUPPORT Professional Development Site Technical Support Recent, Significant Progress Established the Technology Advisory Committee and Education Technology Coordinator Insufficient to support content-specific and coaching needs 5 Technicians 9,500 Computers 1: 1900 Support Ratio Results in delays and dependence on site staff to troubleshoot. Education Industry Support Ratio: 1:500 13
