This summer, we had two trainers from Joel's former district (Eanes ISD) come and present on Google Earth and Blogs & Wikis. Margie Brown and Debbie Smith also provided technology trainings to their staff over the course of summer. They are linked to the trainings we have generated on our site and we are linking to theirs. This is in the spirit of Web 2.0 and online collaboration. We all can author our own content, link and share with one another.

The vision of Kerrville Independent School District is to prepare students to meet the challenges of an information sociaty and its rapidly changing technologies. We will provide students with the opportunity to develop lifelong learning skills through the use of technology.

Our Goals:

2. Promote growth in educator's effectiveness in integrating technology into the curriculum, achivieving proficiency in SBEC technology standards, and transforming teaching practices by promoting student-centered learning.

3. Optimize the effective use of technology by developing and fostering leadership in all levels of administration in alignment with the national technology standards for school administrators.

4. Provide and support a secure, robust, reliable, and flexible infrastructure.

5. Develop and support policies, plans, and procedures to standardize and streamline the implementation of current and emerging technologies in order to promote equity and access for all stakeholders. 

6. Improve quality of communication to facilitate data-driven decision making processes in the areas of student records, community partnerships, parent awareness and involvement, and other support services.
