Star Chart Results

These are my results of the Star Chart:

1. Hardware: Target Tech
2. Connectivity: Mid Tech
3. Content: Mid Tech
4. Professional Development: Mid Tech
5. Integration and Use: High Tech

Based on an average of your responses, your school is at the High Tech level.

Based on these results there are three ISTE Essential Conditions that this school should look at to improve.

1. Skilled personnel. While many of the personnel are first rate, they are still working on catching them up on Web 2.0 technologies. There is definitely money in professional development, and technology is a big goal for this school, so they're on their way.
2. Support policies: There are possibly inadequate policies in place to deal with many of the online learning that takes place.
3. Student Centered Learning: Until last year much of the tech integration was teacher centered. It's a process that's growing.
