10. What do we do now? From the graph you can see that in most areas we have shown improvement each year. We still need to focus mostly on Teaching and Learning. This area includes tracking the frequency and patterns of usage of technology, making content area connections, implementation of the Technology Application TEKS, and participating in online learning. In the area of Infrastructure for Technology we have not shown any growth. This means we need to work on the speediness of our technical support, creating more distance learning opportunities, and providing more devices for classroom technology use.
