National Education Technology Plan - Baker School District

Student comments from the survey of grades 6-12:
“We would like to have one computer per student, possibly
a wireless laptop. Software needs to be updated, as well as
hardware. Infrastructure should be improved to accommodate
these upgrades. Access is vital, with before and after school hours
open for use.”
“Hire people to keep the computers running, give us more
bandwidth and less firewall, enable hookups from home, give the
teachers more training and give us more computer classes. We’re
also interested in ITV and online classes.”
“I would like them to let us kids sign laptops out of the library and
there would be enough for everyone in the school. Or they could
give us a laptop for the year.”
“Students should be allowed to have free access to online
tutoring.”
Student comments from grades 3-6:
“I think that teachers should be required to go to a technology
course and extra classes should be available to kids who need help
working with computers, want to learn more about technology, or
who just want to have fun.”
“Teachers could show more videos and web sites to show kids
more information in social studies and science.”
