  5. The Texas STaR Chart was developed around the four key domains of the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020 • Teaching and Learning • Educator Preparation and Development • Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support • Infrastructure and Technology WHAT IS THE STaR CHART?

  10. As you complete the chart, you will see where you fall on the chart • Example: Consider your use of digital content in the classroom. The Target Tech, or goal, is for you and your students to “have on demand access to all appropriate technology and digital resources anytime/anywhere for technology integrated curriculum activities on the campus, in the district, at home, or key locations in the community.” • Are you there yet? • Only 0.9% of campuses in Texas are. HOW CAN THIS HELP ME?

  11. Most likely you fall within one of the other three categories. If you fall within “Developing Tech” you “have regular weekly access and use of technology and digital resources for curriculum activities in my classroom, library, or lab.” By knowing where you are, and knowing the goal, you can proceed with a plan!
