Here is the goal for Week 4 from the assignment, "**keep in mind that the goal of the online learning community is to improve technology use and integration at your campus."** Ryan said: While analyzing the Texas STaR chart I found out that one of our weak areas is Educator Preparation. I think one of things that has kept The Academy from moving from the Advanced Tech catagory into the Target Tech catagory is learner-centered projects. I think we do a good job of creating a learner-centered school, but it is difficult to find the time to create learner-centered projects. How can we integrate technology with learner-centered projects being done on the campus?

Gary said:

**PURPOSE ** : The purpose is to integrate technology across the board and moving towards more paperless activities.
**QUESTIO** N : How can we utilize technology to integrate into all of our courses and activities?

Katie said:

How can The Academy do a better job of preparing teachers to meet the technology needs of our students?
Connie said: Teaching and Learning seems to be the weakest area on the STaR Chart. Improvements in the areas of the function of the teacher and the integration of Technology Applications and TEKS will move The Academy from Advanced Tech to Target Tech.
 * Purpose:** //The purpose of this professional online community is to improve technology use and integrations at The Academy;//
 * Question:** How can we integrate Technology Applications with TEKS to provide that "seamless" integration?
