8. SUMMARY
• Pleasantville is considered advanced as far as
infrastructure for technology is concerned, and
has been over the years. Though we should
continue to strive to be on target.
• Based on the most current data, the area of
Teaching and Learning is a campus weakness.
• Now that we have the technological resources
and support available at our campus, we must
begin to effectively integrate them into the
curriculum.
9. WHAT’S NEXT?
• ASSESS: Complete or review the current Texas
Teacher STaR Chart to assess your current
technology level.
• REFLECT: Analyze your levels of progress for each
key area to determine strengths and weaknesses.
• SET: Set personal technology goals that align with
the state, district, and campus technology goals.
