SMART Goal #1
The Liberty County School District has decided to move to a 1:1 environment and by
July 1, 2017, it will have evaluated its network infrastructure and done the essential maintenance
and upgrades to ensure that the network meets the level of reliability and security necessary to
support the stakeholder’s needs for this move. The district wide network will maintain a 98%
uptime and mobile broadband access will be added to offer data speeds of at least 600 Kbps.
Faculty, staff and students will be trained and devices will be issued accordingly.
Strategies to Support Goal #1
1. Partner with Verizon, and E-rate to develop an elite wireless technology topology
infrastructure that will accommodate wireless technology use for the students, faculty,
administration, and support staff.
[2.] Partner with Apple and Verizon to provide tablets for every student and teacher with an
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 4
additional 1,000 floating tablets for administration and support staff. We would develop
a tablet that would have robust and scalable features. Our infrastructure would will(?)
provide for remote support, remote printing, extranets, and intranets for the district. The
tablets will be setup with mobile broadband connectivity that provides home access
equity.
21st Century Learning Skills Addressed (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and/or Critical Thinking)
Collaboration- The value of digital collaboration will include but not be limited to: work
products, classroom management, innovation, assessment and strategic planning.
Communication - Email, social media, extranet, intranet, clouds all forms of
communication that will allow everyone in the district to perform more efficiently and effective.
Creativity- Increased broadband and enhanced Wi-Fi will increase opportunities for
collaboration which influences creativity, allowing for many forms of technology that teachers
and students in the district can use to stay informed, work together, and create tremendous value
in class assignments.
Critical Thinking-This allows students to interact and evaluate themselves, allows
teachers to share ideas and plans, administrators to make better decisions, and the district to
measure their success and failures to other states, and districts.
Rationale Including Research to Support Goal #1 and Strategies
Education has traditionally been delivered face-to-face in a classroom setting where a
teacher is lecturing to students who remain in their seats for most of the class time. As we move
further into the 21st century, the image of the traditional setting is changing. Learning is now
interactive and collaborative. One-to-one initiatives provide opportunities for learning that
“teaches students to be self-directed, allows them to receive personalized instruction, and gives
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 5
them valuable digital age skills” (Mortensen, 2011, p. 16). Students are encouraged to explore
ideas and discuss beliefs with not only those in close proximity, but also other students around
the globe.
The Liberty County School District must be in step with these educational trends and
update the network infrastructure to support the technology these changes require. Although the
classrooms are currently outfitted with a number of desktop computers, learning now involves
the use of mobile devices which are connected to the network more often than not. The wireless
infrastructure within the schools must be capable of handling the load of thousands of devices
hitting the network at any given moment. Any lag or delay in the access can alter the outcomes
anticipated by the teacher and/or student.
Evaluation Measures
The Director of Technology has the responsibility of monitoring the overall status of
project and budgets to ensure things are moving according to the plan. Supporting the
technology efforts will be Network Administrators who will be responsible for maintaining the
integrity of the network, server deployment, and security. Members of the Help Desk Support
team will be responsible for issuing and maintaining the hardware used by staff and students.
These team members will also track the number of equipment losses and damages through their
call tickets. Finally, contractors will install the wireless network and any necessary upgrades.
They will also be responsible for ensuring the networks are working at their highest capacity
after installation.
Professional Development Plan
At the end of the current school year, contractors will begin surveying the buildings to
map the exact layout for access points and switches.
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 6
By August 2016, all equipment related to the network upgrade will be sent out for quotes
and requisitioned. Installation wireless network at the first school will begin by October 2016.
Timeline for Implementation
The upgrades to the network infrastructure will be completed by July 1, 2017. By this
date, systems will have been tested and ready for professional development and other training to
begin in August.

SMART Goal #2
By the end of the 2017-18 school year, each class within the school district will have
access to and openly utilize school-owned tablets and personal mobile communication devices to
foster collaboration, content engagement, and increase student achievement on classroom
assessment measures by at least 10%.
Strategies to Support Goal #2
1. School technology leaders will promote the use of school provided tablets to use Google
platforms of Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Classroom to aid in providing opportunities for
collaboration from student-to-student, student-to-teacher, and teacher-to-teacher.
2. The district technology committee will implement a plan for student and teacher-owned
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 7
devices to be used for content access and collaboration in a Bring Your Own Device
movement. This will allow for students and teachers to create additional avenues of
communication regarding specific content or learning activities.
3. Teachers will utilize formative/summative assessment applications that are compatible
with the district selected tablet, such as Socrative, Khan Academy and Kahoot! to assist
with progress monitoring of student achievement.
21st Century Learning Skills Addressed (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and/or
Critical Thinking)
Collaboration - The use of Google platforms using school-owned devices and those that
are personal MCDs will allow for students and teachers to work with each other in a digital
format both within and outside of the classroom walls. This transparency of collaboration will
encourage students to extend their depth of knowledge to a sill and, ultimately, product based
exemplification of their learning. (ISTE Student Standard 2)
Communication - The use of school-owned tablets and personal communication devices
will provide students and teachers with communication options to include instant messaging,
cloud-based document sharing, email, and video conferencing. These additional forms of
communication will help to increase an atmosphere of open dialogue amongst student learners
and educators.
Critical Thinking - The extensive resources available through access to the internet
allow for students and teachers to connect to content in ways that would be unavailable
with the limited resources provided by traditional curriculum measures. This increased capacity
for content involvement will facilitate more opportunities to work with content and further
individual and group content learning.
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 8
Rationale Including Research to Support Goal #2 and Strategies
Modern research suggests that the use of computing devices, both at school and in the
home environment, can have a positive impact on student academic achievement (Cheema &
Zhang, 2013). Although socio-economic status remains as the single largest predictor of overall
achievement, the incorporation of high quality technology experiences into the curriculum has a
significant impact on achievement for all students regardless of student subcategories (p. 104).
With this in mind, it is the suggestion of the Liberty County School District Technology Action
Committee that mobile technologies be purchased to provide all of our students with the
opportunity to leverage technology as a resource to improve individual achievement levels. With
this in mind, the committee suggests the purchase of iPad minis as the preferred tablet for
student use due to the device’s ease of use for students and teachers and the variety of
applications available for collaboration and assessment. iPads also provide learners with
tactile, visual, and auditory sense engagement during the learning process, incorporating
additional learning modalities that may not be employed otherwise (McEwen & Dubé,
2015).
Regarding collaboration, applications such as the Google suite including docs, sheets,
slides, drive, and classroom are all available for teachers and students to utilize inside and
outside of classroom walls to create extended learning environments. Topper and Lancaster
(2013) identify the need for collaboration from all stakeholders is a must for school districts to
overcome the difficulties that can be experiences in a one-to-one device adoption initiative.
These applications serve this collaborative need and are easily used on the selected tablet.
Assessment opportunities are also increased through the use of mobile technologies
within the classroom. The use of assessment tools and applications such as Kahoot!, Socrative,
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 9
Nearpod, etc. provide teachers with new methods of determining student content mastery.
These applications are useable for both formative and summative assessment types. The value of
any assessment lies in its ability for teachers to provide to learners feedback on their learning
(Shirley & Irving, 2014). With mobile technologies and applications designed specifically for
assessment this feedback can be provided more quickly and allow for intervention or enrichment
to take place to take students to the next level in their individual learning paths. With such an
increase in the scope of assessment opportunities, the district expects that student achievement,
as per Cheema and Zhang (2013), will increase by at least 10% by the end of the 2017-18 school
year.
Expected Outcomes in Terms of Student Learning / Achievement
The use of technology within the classroom has demonstrated an increase in student
engagement and time devoted to content related tasks (). This increase in student engagement
lends one to extend the impact of student engagement to a possible increase in student focus on
content, with a greater possibility for knowledge attainment. If such a connection is to follow, it
is expected that students will achieve proficiency and mastery within content area standards at a
level higher than peers that may not have the benefit of the district provided technology.
Utilizing progress monitoring tools such as Socrative, Khan Academy, Edulastic, etc. will
provide for students and teachers a way to measure learning and evaluate growth and potential
for growth effectively. An overall increase in student classroom content performance is expected
for the majority of students within the district, saving the possibility of anomalies resulting from
students that may be habitually absent or have other circumstances that affect their performance.
Regarding student achievement, it is expected that a 10% achievement growth will be
made by each student for each content area. This growth may be measured from the start of one
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 10
academic year to the conclusion of that academic year or by measuring specific instructional
units within a content and determining the growth made on each content unit focus. This will
allow for a demonstration of growth within the content and will also allow for students and
teachers to have an accurate measurement of growth regarding specific content standards. The
calculation of achievement growth will be performed using progress monitoring tools, as
mentioned above, and will be recorded using a Google sheet. This sheet will be individualized
for each teacher and his/her classroom roster and will be shared with and maintained, for record,
by the building technology leader.
Evaluation Measures (Include Job Titles of Persons Responsible)
To ensure that this goal is met, Building Technology Leaders (BTL) for each school
building will provide staff with instructional support on tablet use and possible opportunities to
include student collaboration and utilize formative/summative assessment measures involving
tablet supported applications. Grade band intervention specialists will assist with the
implementation of these technologies in the classroom for students with disabilities as needed.
Teachers will report results of pretests for the academic year and unit pretests to the BTL using a
Google sheet tracker. This Google sheet will also allow for teachers to indicate times during an
instructional unit that they specifically used tablet supported technologies for collaboration and
assessment as to help measure the impact of technology usage on achievement measures. At the
conclusion of each unit, or at the end of the academic year, teachers will report posttest results in
the same sheet and percentages of increase will be calculated. A summative increase in
achievement of 10% over the course of the academic year or a 10% increase for any 5 or more
units of instruction will meet the mandate of 10% achievement growth.
Professional Development Plan
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 11
Building technology leaders (BTL) will provide bi-weekly professional development
opportunities in a half hour block of instruction following the school day. During this time,
BTLs will share with staff tools and applications that are available for download on
teacher/student devices. These applications and strategies for use in the classroom will be shared
and discussed so that staff are able to be familiar with and utilize a variety of technology
resources within the classroom. Teachers, will also have an opportunity to use these applications
during these professional development sessions, so that they can experience their use prior to
attempting to incorporate them into the classroom
During monthly building staff meetings the BTL will share with staff the overall efficacy
of utilizing technology for collaboration and assessment within the classroom by giving up-to-
date achievement growth calculations to each staff member regarding instructional unit cycles.
This will allow for teachers to understand their current level of growth and impact of the
technology measures that they are incorporating into the classroom.
Timeline for Implementation
The end point of the lifecycle for goal 2 is the conclusion of the 2017-18 school year. By this
point, all teachers and staff will be trained on and incorporating collaborative opportunities for
students and will utilize progress monitoring applications to monitor student achievement,
raising student achievement by 10% or greater. Along the process to this end state, there will be
checkpoints at which certain pieces of the goal will be partially accomplished.
● By the start of the 2016-17 school year, building technology leaders will have created a
cycle of bi-weekly professional developments to be conducted during the school year.
● By January 1, 2017, the BTL for each school will have a Google sheet tracking system
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 12
created for teachers to input pretest/posttest results for the academic year or instructional
unit cycles.
● May 15, 2017, summative growth calculations for the year will be available to teachers to
demonstrate the efficacy of technology incorporation and achievement growth for each
student.
● At the start of the 2017-18 school year pretest results for the summation of academic
content will be input.
● During the 2017-18 school year, continued professional development opportunities will
take place
● January 1, 2018, calculations for mid-year achievement growth will be provided
● May 15, 2018, summative calculations for achievement growth will be available for the
academic year/all instructional unit cycles

SMART Goal #3
By August 11th, 2016 all 10 schools in the district will have Twitter accounts and Google
Drive accounts. Google Drive will ensure that students and teachers are collaborating with each
other digitally. Twitter will allow schools to post updates, news, and information about
upcoming events to inform parents and the community. This will be completed through the
summer months by the technology department. Technology specialist in all schools will be
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 13
trained and available to answer questions relating to Twitter and Google Drive. They will also
hold a PD on these resources during teacher planning time over the summer.
Strategies to Support Goal #3
1. Committee members will work together during the summer months to set up student,
teacher, and administrator accounts for Google Drive. Teachers will receive their login
information and their student’s login information prior to receiving professional learning
on Google Drive. Technology specialist will work with building leaders to discuss the use
of Twitter for their school.
2. District will host summer professional learning days to train teachers and administrators
on how to use Google Drive (e.g. amongst colleagues, and student usage) and Twitter.
21st Century Learning Skills Addressed (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and/or Critical Thinking)
Collaboration - Student and teachers will be able to collaborate using Google Drive.
Teachers will be able to complete lesson plans with colleagues at the same time on the same
document using Google Docs. Students will also be able to work on documents with fellow
students and collaborate with one another. Teachers will also be able to easily share documents
with students and colleagues using Google Drive.
Communication - Schools will be able to communicate with parents and the community
using their school Twitter accounts. Schools will post school announcements, updates, and news
about their school. Google Drive will also be used as a form of communication from teacher to
student. Teachers will be able to give feedback to student’s work on Google Doc and Slide
presentations.
Creativity - Students and teachers will be able to use creativity through the Google Drive.
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 14
Teachers will be able to create assessments, activities, and assignments that are no longer paper
based. This will allow students to use their creativity to add to projects and assignments using the
internet. Building leaders and technology specialist can also use Twitter in creative ways by
posting videos to their Twitter accounts moving away from regular school newsletters.
Rationale Including Research to Support Goal #3 and Strategies
Studies have shown that the use of Google Drive features such as Google Docs has
motivated learners. It has also become a way of engaging students in their learning and
motivating them to complete assignments and task through the use of technology. Technology is
rapidly growing and teachers are moving away from paper based assignments because they no
longer motivate or engage students to want to learn. There has have been studies conducted on
students who used Google Docs in the classroom. These studiesy showed: When the use of
Google Docs was required, students showed enriched learning experiences compared to the
assignment without Google Docs. Additionally, introducing Google Docs changed the means by
which students communicated during their collaborative writing (Zhou, Simpson & Domizi,
2012). This shows that our schools will benefit greatly from the use of Google Docs.
Social Media is also a good tool to use in a school setting. As we move away from paper
based assignments we also need to move away from paper based announcements. We can now
communicate with the parents, students and the community more effectively and efficiently
through the use of technology and social media. Teachers can post homework assignments and
share news and resources with the student community (Blazer, 2012). Not only does Twitter
benefit schools with communication, but it can also be used eventually for classroom use so that
teachers can communicate with their students.
Expected Outcomes in Terms of Student Learning / Achievement
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 15
Students and teachers will be able to move away from using paper based assignments and move
towards a more digital world of learning. Teachers no longer will need to write comments on
student assignments by hand. They will be able to communicate with their students using the
comments tool and assist with editing students work. Students will also learn to collaborate with
other classmates online conducting group projects. Both teachers and students will have more
digital experiences in the classroom with this new implementation. Schools will also become
more connected with the community and with parents through the use of social media. They will
be able to deliver school news, updates, and announcements at a much quicker rate.
Evaluation Measures
Building leaders (principal, assistant principal, and academic support specialist) will
monitor lesson plans to ensure that teachers are creating lessons using these new resources
(Google Drive and other Google features). These leaders will also collect data from observations
and walkthroughs to see if teachers are implementing these digital resources in the classroom.
Technology specialist and school leaders will collect data from parents and from the community
through surveys to see how effective the communication through Twitter is.
Professional Development Plan
During the summer on teacher work days (two weeks before school starts), teachers will
receive professional development on how to use Google Drive. Teachers will also be trained on
how to use Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Google Forms, and Google Drawing.
Teachers will have professional learning on how to collaborate with their fellow colleagues using
the Google resources. Teachers will also receive tips on how to have students collaborate with
classmates and with the teacher on assignments using Google resources in the classroom. School
building leaders will also work with the technology specialist over the summer to receive
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 16
professional development on how to use Twitter as a communication tool.
Timeline for Implementation
Google Drive student and faculty accounts need to be set up a week before August 3rd,
2016 to ensure the accounts are ready to be utilized during professional development (teacher
planning week). Twitter accounts for each school will need to be set up before August 3rd 2016.
Itemized Budget
Twitter and Google Drive accounts will be free of cost.
Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and E-Rate
The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a regulation that requires schools and
libraries to have internet filtering on all computers if they receive federal funds for computer or
internet access. CIPA also requires that these organizations must certify that here is an internet
safety policy established. The policy should address “the use of internet filters, monitoring
children’s online activities, and dealing with child hackers” (Cannon, 2001, p. 40). There is no
strict guideline for the policy, but it must be readily available to the FCC upon request.
E-rate is a program offered through the Federal Communication Commission that aid
schools and libraries in obtaining technology. “Funding may be requested under two categories
of service: category one services to a school or library (telecommunications,
telecommunications services, and Internet access) and category two services that deliver Internet
access within schools and libraries (internal connections, basic maintenance of internal
connection and managed broadband services)” (Federal Communications Commission, 2016).
The discounts on eligible services can range from 20 to 90 percent based on demand, up to the
pre-determined cap.
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 17
Schools and libraries have to meet and maintain compliance with CIPA to receive federal
funding. If a school or library falls out of compliance by not certifying, they will no longer
receive funding. Under E-rate, “if a school or library is found not to be in compliance, it can be
required to reimburse the FCC for the subsidy” (Cannon, p. 44)
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that became
effective in 2000. Its goal is to control the collection and use of children’s personal information.
This law was passed in 1998 after it was discovered that much of the information collected via
websites were from children. Many of the website operators could not explain what happened to
the information after it was collected. With COPPA in place, operators are required to post
privacy policies on their homepage as well as a link back to the policy anywhere personal
information is gathered. (Folsom, 2011) Parents must also be granted access to the information
and given the opportunity to decide if it should be disclosed to other parties.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act has an impact on the Liberty County
School District because of its use of web-based applications. According to Virgil Burton and the
Encyclopedia of Small Business (2011), “the arm of COPPA is very long because it applies to
general audience websites that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal
information from children (p. 229)”. The District must ensure that it has parental permission
from all students before they are given access to the various applications being used.
District Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) / Rational Unified Process (RUP) Top Five List
This policy provides the procedures, rules, guidelines and codes of conduct for the use of
the technology and information networks for Liberty County Schools. Use of such technology is
a necessary, innate element of the LCS educational mission, but technology is provided to staff
Running Head: LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT - CTP 18
and students as a privilege, not a right. LCS seeks to protect, encourage and enhance the
legitimate uses of technology by placing fair limitations on such use and sanctions for those who
abuse the privilege. The reduction of computer abuse provides adequate resources for users with
legitimate needs.
The following will be focused on in our AUP:
1. Online safety
2. Unacceptable Use and consequences
3. Respect for self and others (includes photo, video and audio recording)
4. Home use of technology
5. Responsible Internet protocols
