 Welcome to **//On our Way into 21st Century Education!//** media type="custom" key="3696521"  My name is Arleen J. Jones. I work at Hackberry Elementary as a Bilingual first grade teacher.

The data in the StaR chart for our campus indicates that the  district has been steadily moving towards the Advanced Tech Rating in the Educator Preparation & Development section . However, this is still our weakest area. Although we have the training, it is not ongoing and we have difficulty incorporating what we have learned into our lessons and the curriculum. 

The purpose of this site is to gather information, suggestions, and ideas for improving the use of technology in our campus . If you have never visited the LEISD Online Instruction page it is located [|here]. We will also look into software training that you might be interested in. Feel free to bring new ideas, questions or comments and suggestions! Be sure to watch "[|Wiki in Plain English]". Read and consider the questions listed below. Go to the "DISCUSSION" link at the top of this page to discuss or share any other questions, thoughts, or ideas you have. 

Questions: 1. What are your needs for incorporating technology into your lesson plans?
