What's New
We at Hebbronville I.S.D. plan to create a learning community. By working in groups to improve instruction,
teachers are able to develop a shared language describing and analyzing classroom teaching and to teach each other about
their capabilities. We all know that the classroom is the critical point of leverage in a school system. What happens
in the classroom affects each child, the teacher, their families, and the local community. It is our hope that by intergrating
technology in the classroom will encourage each student to learn more and more.
This newsletter is to inform all Faculty, Staff, Students,
and Parents with information on integrating technology into the classroom this coming school year to begin soon. This past
year was our first time with exploring the technology and what a success . Thank You, High School Principal Clarisa

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(ISSUES)- Four over arching issues emerged from the meetings and surveys: Technology-bases
instruction, information and communication system are essential for serving students, supporting the teachers, and effectively
carrying out adminstrative tasks. The staff is generally aware of available technology and is supportive of its integration
into the instructional delivery system, but they are not trained sufficiently for optimizing the use of technology in the
classroom.
(Recommendations)
The District will:
- Support the use of technology to augment and enhance every learning situation
- Provide students and teachers access to essential electronic library and
research tools
- Commit to staff development and operational support for technology
- Have a comprehensive plan concerning the funding of technology
(Benefits)
The benefits for the Districts are :
- Students will have greater access to essential technological resources and
participate more fully in the educational opportunities this access affords
- Teachers will incorporate contemporary ways to deliver essentail educational
material, which may be paced to the learner's ability, no matter how accelerated or remedial the learner may be.
- Staff productivity will increase through the appropriate use of technology.
