1. Elementary School LevelEvery teacher has either a laptop or desktop to use and e-mail is available through MicrosoftExchange. Teachers with laptops are able to take them home, desktops stay at school. Teacherstake roll online and have classroom webpages available to them through the SchoolCentersystem. Students in grades 5 and up have e-mail addresses and online document storage if givenparent permission.The typical classroom for kindergarten through second grade in the district has at least 4computers. These machines are almost always used as Waterford pods for the students in theseclassrooms. These computers are almost always connected to the Internet because it is notnecessary for Waterford and the Internet is not always used in the lower grade levels, however itis available for all machines in every room if needed. At four sites (Covillaud, Linda, Loma Ricaand Olivehurst) computer labs are used for Waterford rather than pods in the classrooms. Atthese sites, and in all third through fifth grade classrooms throughout the district, the computersin the classrooms are used for other educational purposes (typing reports, doing research, usingother educational software, etc.) The classroom will have at least one printer connected for allthe computers in the class to use. All computers have Microsoft Office installed and have theability to connect to the Internet. Every elementary classroom is connected to the Internet. Atapproximately half of the schools, computers are made available to students and parents for 30minutes prior to the start of school, and 30 minutes after school. The majority of schools have atleast some interactive white boards with mounted projectors and document cameras. Havingthese installed in every elementary classroom has been a big focus of the schools.2. Middle School LevelEvery teacher has either a laptop or desktop to use and e-mail is available through MicrosoftExchange. Teachers with laptops are able to take them home, desktops stay at school. Teacherstake roll online and have classroom webpages available to them through the SchoolCentersystem. All students have e-mail addresses and online document storage if given parentpermission.Most classrooms have three to five computers available for the students. All middle schoolshave computer labs available to students and teachers. All classrooms are networked. Access tothe labs during school is on a sign-up by class basis. All computers have Microsoft Officeinstalled, as well as Internet access. Yuba Gardens and Foothill Intermediate also utilize amobile laptop cart/lab. Computers are available in each library as well, but not all of the librarycomputers are connected to the network at the request of the school site. Computers at thesesites are only available to parents and students before and after school when requested by theuser. When requested, computers are made available for approximately 30 minutes before andafter school.Marysville Joint Unified School DistrictPage 7 of 50

Description of the district’s current use of hardware and software to supportteaching and learning.The following summarizes the current use of technology in teaching and learning throughoutMJUSD.1. Elementary LevelOn a daily basis, students, teachers, staff and administrators at the elementary and pre-schoollevel are provided access to technology and educational/information resources in classrooms,libraries, computer media labs and administrative offices, as well as by checkout for home use atsome sites. Currently all K-2 students access Waterford on a daily basis, for a minimum of 15minutes. Students at all sites also take advantage of the Accelerated Reading and AcceleratedMath programs from Renaissance Learning. These programs are utilized on a weekly basis.Many teachers have developed classroom webpages and have shared lesson plans online, but thisvaries greatly from site to site and from teacher to teacher. Students in grades 5 and up have email addresses and online document storage if given parent permission. Teachers use Edusoftweekly to help assess students and develop individualized lesson plans.2. Middle SchoolMiddle School students utilize the Renaissance programs Accelerated Reader and AcceleratedMath. In Accelerated Reader, students typically take a computer test on books they havecompleted. The number of books read each year varies by teacher and the student’s readinglevel. Accelerated Math requires students to scan their answers and obtain new worksheets aboutevery other day. Most students are required to do at least two research projects a year, with muchof the information being found on the Web. Many students are also required to complete at leastone multimedia project per year. Students in grades 5 and up have e-mail addresses and onlinedocument storage if given parent permission.Research on the computer varies greatly among teachers, with some utilizing it daily and othersrarely taking advantage. The district now has a grade book available through the StudentInformation System that teachers at all middle schools are using.Marysville Joint Unified School DistrictPage 9 of 50
3. High School Level Technology is being used in the Math, Science, and English departments at both sites.Technology is very prevalent in the elective courses at both sitesAccelerated and STAR Math is used at both sites to provide assessment, intervention,practice, and progress of math students in selected math courses.Portable computer labs equipped with laptops and wireless internet exist at both sitesMicrosoft Office, media production, web design, keyboarding, intervention and gradingsoftware is being used by teachers and studentsPresentation software, overhead projectors and portable screens are utilized by teachersand studentsWord processing software is being used by students daily at both sites. Students at both sites arerequired to turn in typed reports in English and other core classes. Students enrolled in acomputer applications course learn and use all programs associated with Microsoft Office daily.Teachers are using PowerPoint presentations to differentiate teaching on a continual basis.Students are being required in Career and Virtual Business classes to turn in PowerPoint projectsand digital portfolios. Research using the Internet is being conducted in History and Englishcourses.4. Other instructional programsOther instructional programs – North Marysville Continuation School, South LindhurstContinuation School and Abraham Lincoln Home School have each made their own decisions onhow technology is used at their sites. Currently, each teacher at each site develops thetechnology approach that best suits the students in their program. For example, North Marysvillehas a class where students are taught how to put together their own yearbook using MicrosoftPublisher. All students are required to prepare reports on the computer and to do research usingthe Internet.3c. Summary of the district’s curricular goals that are supported by this tech plan.There are a number of Federal and State mandates that currently drive the MJUSD curriculargoals. These mandates set forth a number of quantitative objectives that the District must meeteach year. The only way that these goals can be met, is by the continued academic improvementof students throughout the District.
