Focus on TUSD - April 2007

Tech Survey Results due April 20
TUSD employees, as well as Tucson community members, have until Friday, April 20, to complete a brief technology survey that will be used to develop a long-range district technology plan.

The survey takes only five minutes to complete on line using this link: https://tusdstats.tusd.k12.az/paweb/utility/Survey/Surv_NPC.aspx .

Users will answer questions about technology they use, technology that would improve their effectiveness, things that work in technology and the obstacles that occur when they use technology in their jobs. One part of the survey is for parents and community members and the other part is for TUSD staff. About 6,000 staff members were asked in a March 26 e-mail to take the survey.

The infrastructure plan would cover at least the next five years, said Lorrane McPherson, the director of grants management and resource development. Survey answers will help TUSD officials estimate the infrastructure that would be necessary to support education technology.
