Who knew!? I can't believe that the state of Texas has such an extensive document that outlines every detail of how our students will acquire technology application knowledge and skills. It deals with the cutting edge facts...that technology is an ever-increasingly important component of our daily lives. We are faced with using technology in our professional and personal lives. Even veteran teachers are using technology at an increasing rate. IT IS NOT GOING AWAY and you cannot do without it.
Leander ISD is implementing Eduphoria. This is a "one stop" shop for grades, attendance, record keeping, and lesson planning. And it is ENTIRELY online. The day of lesson plan and attendance books is becoming, nearly through mandate, a thing of the past.
The Texas Long-Range Plan helps deal with the issues of our technology infused ever changing world. If nothing more, it makes us embrace the fact that our students are digital natives. They eat, breath, sleep, walk, learn (...and whatever else) through technology. Having classrooms without technology is like having a library without books. Which actually, might someday be reality.
