CHARTERED 1933 2020 | Back to School | The Daily News | 11 Educators have made strides toward closing tech gap By KATHRYN EASTBURN Correspondent While much of the media dis- cussion around COVID-19 has focused on shortcomings among school districts in their ability to make basic technology available to all students, in reality the ma- jority of schools have made quan- tum leaps in advancing toward a technologically driven future. “I started in March with plans to make the district one-to-one with devices for all students and I thought it would take several years, but here we are,” said Au- drey Torres, chief strategy and innovation officer for the Galves- ton Independent School District. The district over the summer purchased 3,000 tablets and com- puters and 1,200 portable hot spots for students to use, making it a one-to-one district. Statewide, Texas schools ordered 716,000 laptops and tablets and 295,000 hot spots, at a cost of a little over $250 million, according to the Texas Education Agency. Much of that money came from the federal Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Secu- rity, or CARES, Act focused on buying access and computers for low-income students. Some came from school dis- trict funds — Texas City Inde- pendent School District invest- ed more than $1 million — and some from foundation grants. In Galveston, the Moody Foun- dation stepped up with a gift of nearly $2 million to the school district for tech purchases. Across Texas, schools not clas- sified as economically disadvan- taged could get the same educa- tion discounts on equipment as school districts, but without the government subsidy. Many private schools, like Trinity Episcopal in Galveston, launched bring-your-own-device programs, asking students to use their own laptops in class, while sharing access to the school’s educational platform and electronic resources. Add to that software purchases for learning management systems to make online teaching more effi- cient and accessible, growing Inter- net Technology departments with- in districts and applications such as Zoom that allow group meetings, and in a matter of months most school districts have upped their tech game substantially. A backlog because of high de- mand is causing some headaches around timely computer delivery, but districts in general are well on their way to adapting to a fu- ture in which hybrid learning is the norm — some in-person in- struction mixed with lots of on- line learning, something Ameri- can educators have been talking about for many years but are now forced to provide. Pronto. A WHOLE NEW WORLD Providing devices is just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to preparing for the possibility of schooling going virtual again in the event of more coronavirus outbreaks, districts have had to provide training to teachers in how to use the technology, par- ents in how to support their stu- dents, and students in learning new programs and platforms. It’s a whole new world and parents need to remember that while it’s advancing quickly, this experiment in online learning is still in its infancy, educators said. “I hope that parents are not com- paring last year’s online learning to what will be available this fall,” said Parker Elementary School teacher Katie Jeffries Assad. “Last spring we were thrown into a situation and we had to just do the best we could. We’ve been working all summer. Teachers are doing trainings all the time, working hard to make sure the online educational experience will be better.” Learning with the help of an electronic device can be partic- ularly difficult for students with special needs who often require a more hands-on approach. Tech- nologies are slowly emerging to meet those needs as well, but for now schools are trying to meet students’ individual education plans with a hybrid approach — as much in-person contact as needed, supported by technolo- gy, according to many districts’ 2020-21 reopening plans. THE RACE FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES While parents struggle to keep up with their own work demands while helping their children learn online, teachers are learning to be more effective online instruc- tors. Meanwhile, software engi- neers and education technology specialists are racing to provide better programs and more effi- cient learning platforms. And while the nationwide eco- nomic downturn likely will lead to decreased school budgets in most states, growth in the edu- cational technology industry is record-breaking, according to EdWeek, an education journal. “There are so many fun online math games that people can go to,” Assad said. Learning management systems such as Canvas, which organize an entire class curriculum plus grad- ing and attendance in one place, previously were used to manage college courses but are becoming familiar to teachers of students in elementary school, introducing an entire generation to sophisti- cated online communication and work management methods. “Canvas allows all our teach- ers to have all classes organized online,” Torres said. “If we have sporadic closures, students and teachers will be able to switch to remote learning.” Applications designed to en- able virtual group gatherings have evolved in unexpected ways — Zoom choirs, Zoom band prac- tice, Zoom play time — and have grown into huge tech companies. Not only has Zoom become a verb familiar to a second-grader, the video-conferencing service has grown to 200 million users, up from 10 million in December, according to the company.

It’ll be a difficult road in a reshaped District 22-5A for the young Ball High team, as La Porte drops down from Class 6A and perennial 5A contender Manvel is added to the mix. A three-year starter, junior libero Sara Gabriel looks to again be the backbone of the Lady Tors.

STUART VILLANUEVA /The Daily News From left, Clear Creek’s Kylie Luedde, Briana Zamo- ra and Reaghan Thompson celebrate after a point during the second set against College Station at Clear Creek High School in League City. » Player to watch: Sophomore middle blocker Kari Nance had an impact in the Lady Tors’ lineup last season, and head volleyball coach Michelle Profitt said Nance has been working diligently in the offseason on improving her game. CLEAR CREEK WILDCATS » Season outlook: One of the perennial powerhouses of the north county, the Wildcats are coming off a season where they scraped into the playoffs as a fourth- place seed, and could very well fly under the District 24-6A radar this season. Hence, the team’s 2020 motto, “heart over hype.” Clear Creek does return seven varsity players, including junior libero Briana Zamora and most of last season’s top hitters. » Player to watch: The delayed start to the season may have come as a blessing in disguise for Clear Creek’s 6-foot junior middle blocker Reaghan Thompson, as she suffered an ACL injury during soccer season and will now have more time to recover. District 24-6A’s 2019 newcomer of the year, Thompson should, if healthy, factor heavily in the Wildcats’ success this season. CLEAR FALLS KNIGHTS »Season outlook: With pretty much the entire starting lineup returning from a strong 2019 team, the Knights will be a favorite to claim this season’s District 24-6A crown, and the outside hitter combination of seniors Mia Johnson — 24-6A’s co- offensive player of the year in 2019 — and Rachel Brown might just be the best one- two punch in the Houston area. »Player to watch: While Clear Falls’ potent offense will be fueled by Brown and Johnson, it will be up to senior setter FILE PHOTO /The Daily News Clear Falls’ Blakely Montgomery sets up a spike for her teammate while playing Pearland in the bi-district playoff match at Clear Lake. Blakely Montgomery to put the pair of powerful hitters in position to rack up kills with sharp, well placed passes. Montgomery also has shown the skill to put points on the board on her own, as well, and could be an X-factor for the Knights this season. CLEAR SPRINGS CHARGERS » Season outlook: The Chargers graduated a strong senior class from a 2019 team that finished tied for second place in District 24-6A, but they still return a solid core of players around which they can put together a formidable lineup. Clear Springs might not have as much depth as it did last season, but have returners seemingly ready to step into larger roles on the team. » Player to watch: Senior outside hitter Shyia Richardson will be counted on as a FILE PHOTO /The Daily News Clear Springs outside hitter Shyia Richardson bumps the ball to Clear Falls during a game in League City. primary offensive weapon for the Chargers, and could emerge as a favorite to be the most valuable player in District 24-6A, as well as an important floor leader for the team.

The team should boast good size, and Farias is optimistic her team can compete in the highly competitive District 24-6A. » Player to watch: A player likely to step into a significantly larger role is senior outside hitter Emalee Allen, who played well enough last season to earn all-district second team honors and is set up to have more opportunities to shine this season. FRIENDSWOOD LADY MUSTANGS » Season outlook: Led by Galveston County player of the year Ashlyn Svoboda, the Lady Mustangs will be attempting the tall task of defending their Region III-5A championship after a trip to the state semifinals last season. There will be some key holes for Friendswood to fill, notably at setter where a few players will be competing in the offseason to take over the spot held by all-stater Tori Weatherley last year.

HITCHCOCK LADY BULLDOGS » Season outlook: Under the guidance of new head volleyball coach Ashlyn Ramsey, the Lady Bulldogs are looking to move the program forward and be more competitive this season. Hitchcock has STUART VILLANUEVA /The Daily News Hitchcock’s Amani Williams returns a serve during the first set against La Marque at Hitch- cock High School. picked up a nice win this season over rival La Marque, but have struggled with slow starts in other matches. » Player to watch: Maintaining poise and composure in matches will be crucial to helping Hitchcock improve, and senior outside hitter Sanaa Scott has the role of picking up her teammates — as well as putting away kills — this season. LA MARQUE LADY COUGARS »Season outlook: The cancellation of tournaments and other matches against larger schools has left the Lady Cougars with only two warmups before delving into district play, so finding their rhythm early in the season will be key. Despite a setback to start the season, head volleyball coach Collea McKinney is confident La Marque will field a solid squad, as the promising young prospects she inherited at the beginning of her stint have now developed into savvy seniors. STUART VILLANUEVA /The Daily News La Marque’s Iyana Moore-Graves returns a shot during the second set against Hitchcock at Hitch- cock High School. » Player to watch: When the Lady Cougars are clicking, it’s a safe bet that athletic multi-sport standout senior outside hitter Kaitlin Ivy will be the one leading the way for the team. A strong season from Ivy can mean only good things for La Marque. SANTA FE LADY INDIANS » Season outlook: The Lady Indians this season face the task of replacing a tremendous senior class, as only one starter — who is also the team’s only senior — returns. However, the Santa Fe volleyball program has historically had a solid foundation, so the new faces filling key positions should be prepared to field a competitive team. STUART VILLANUEVA /The Daily News Santa Fe’s Freedom Stephenson celebrates after a point during the second set against Friendswood at Friendswood High School. »Player to watch: The aforementioned lone returning starter is senior libero Freedom Stephenson, and her varsity experience will be an important factor in the team’s success, as well as shoring up a strong defense, this season. STUART VILLANUEVA /The Daily News Texas City’s Macee Medina returns a shot during the second set against Alvin at Texas City High School. TEXAS CITY LADY STINGS »Season outlook: Under new head coach Glenn Kennedy last season, the Lady Stings turned a corner by making the postseason for the first time since 2015. And, although the new-look District 22-5A got tougher with the additions of Manvel and La Porte, Texas City is returning six all-district players and should be primed to compete for a playoff spot again this season. »Player to watch: On the top of the list of returning players is senior libero Macee Medina, who was District 22-5A’s defensive player of the year last season. Medina’s defensive contributions should be key Texas City continuing to hang in there with some top-notch district competition. – James LaCombe THE NEWS YOU WANT DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX GALVNEWS.COM/ NEWSLETTERSStarting October (as conditions permit): In-Person - OR - Online options available For class information, schedules, tuition, please visit: Online Classes Begin Sept. 8, 2020 FanfareLMA.com Additional Questions?

Two significant changes, though, should give the Ball High faithful hope for better days in 2020. The first is a change in leadership, as the Tors welcome a new head coach in Sheldon Bennight, who comes to Galveston after being an assistant head coach with back-to-back Class 6A state champion North Shore. The second change is that realignment put Ball High in a much less daunting new district. Of the Tors’ seven new district foes, only two reached the playoffs last season. »Player to watch: While the Tors are likely to lean on the run game on offense, senior wide receiver Nehemiah Noel is a returning first team all-district talent and a big-play threat who averaged nearly 30 yards per pass reception last season. earned its first playoff berth since the 2015 season. A rock- solid offensive line was key to Clear Creek’s well functioning run-based offense, which led District 24-6A in total rushing yards last season. While the unit will certainly miss one of the nation’s best class of 2020 linemen in Chad Lindberg, it should still be a strength of the team. » Player to watch: Senior running back Rayfield Conley led the district in rushing yards last season, and should be poised to once again contend for 24-6A’s rushing crown, as the speedster is coming off a season where he averaged more than 8 yards per carry. CLEAR CREEK WILDCATS » Season outlook: The Wildcats will be looking to build on the momentum of last season, where the program CLEAR FALLS KNIGHTS »Season outlook: The Knights are looking to be a team on the rise as they are coming off their first winning season in the history of the young program and first playoff berth since the 2013 season. Clear Falls boasted the top offense in District 24-6A, led by an air attack that led the district in total passing yards. The Knights will have to fill the void left by a strong senior class that included prolific quarterback Gavin Esquivel, but have some quality up-and-coming players in the program who will be expected to make key contributions right away. » Player to watch: While a new crop of players will play key roles for Clear Falls, senior Quinn Bowen is a returning offensive threat the Knights are likely to lean on. A hybrid type of player, Bowen can line up in the backfield or as a receiver for Clear Falls’ offense. CLEAR SPRINGS CHARGERS » Season outlook: The defense should be the strength for the Chargers, particularly up front where they return three unanimous all-district first team linemen. The offense will have to replace a three-year starting quarterback and two top-notch offensive tackles, among other spots, but Clear Springs will return its leading rusher from last year, as well as a versatile receiver. After a three-year run as district champions, the Chargers had to settle for second place last season, but will surely be eying a return to the top of 24-6A.

DICKINSON GATORS » Season outlook: The defending District 24-6A champion Gators should be reloaded with talent and in position to win back-to-back outright district titles for the first time since 1986 and 1987, although new faces will have to step up at key positions. At quarterback, 2019’s starter — the 24-6A district most valuable player and Galveston County player of the year — Mike Welch is now with the Houston Cougars. Last season’s 24-6A defensive MVP, safety Savien Arnett, also leaves big shoes to fill, but reloading the roster has never been a problem for Dickinson in recent years. » Player to watch: Ranked the No. 1 tight end in the nation for the class of 2022, junior Donovan Green looks to be a matchup problem for opposing defenses with the combination of his speed, athleticism and size at 6-foot-4. FOOTBALL Continued » 14 FRIENDSWOOD MUSTANGS »Season outlook: Last season saw the Mustangs surprise many prognosticators as they fought their way to a second- place finish in what was arguably the most difficult football district in the state of Texas. After this year’s realignment, though, Friendswood now will be seen as a favorite to claim the new district’s championship. The Mustangs’ offense returns multiple key players and should be a finely tuned unit again. The defense graduated several leaders, but the Friendswood program typically has quality replacements waiting in the wings. » Player to watch: Senior quarterback Luke Grden has held the proverbial keys to the Friendswood offense ever since being named a starter late in his freshman season, and he appears to be primed to end his high school career with a season to remember. HITCHCOCK BULLDOGS »Season outlook: The Bulldogs have a promising crop of returning players that should put them in a position to reach the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. Highlighted by twin running backs Davin and Devin Preston, speed appears to be a big strength for Hitchcock this season. The offense last season mixed in some spread formations in addition to run-oriented slot-T, so versatility could play into the Bulldogs’ favor this season, as well. » Player to watch: Hitchcock’s lone returning first team all- district player, junior defensive end Matthew Fleming isn’t the biggest player on the line, but he has shown a knack to get to the ball carrier in a hurry and disrupt opposing offenses. LA MARQUE COUGARS » Season outlook: With four returning first team all-district players, the Cougars have a chance to have a breakthrough year on offense — an area that, at times, has been a challenge for the team. So, while La Marque’s new district sets up to be more challenging than it has in recent seasons, the Coogs should be positioned well for another run into the playoffs. »Player to watch: While La Marque’s offense tends to run more than pass, senior wide receiver Jauron Reid Jr. is a defending district most valuable player and a proven game changer. Getting the ball into Reid’s hands should be a top mission of the Cougars’ offense. SANTA FE INDIANS »Season outlook: The Indians went through a rebuilding season last year — the first with new head coach Matthew Bentley, who was promoted from defensive coordinator. The season included a total overhaul of Santa Fe’s offensive scheme from a spread attack to run-focused approach, and more experience in this new system should serve the Indians well as they look to improve this season. » Player to watch: Senior safety Bruce Erekson emerged as a leader of the Indians’ defense last season, logging 97 tackles, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and an interception. A returning all-district second team selection, Erekson leads a secondary that could the strength of Santa Fe’s defense this season. TEXAS CITY STINGS » Season outlook: It’ll be a fresh start in a new district for the Stings, as they drop to Class 5A, Division II following two years struggling in a rugged District 10-5A-I. With a good amount of experience on both sides of the ball, particularly on defense, Texas City should be in a position to contend for a playoff spot in what should be a competitive, but not overwhelming, district. »Player to watch: One of Galveston County’s best running backs last season, senior Semaj McCall is back for the Stings to be the featured runner in Texas City’s run-heavy I-formation offense. An all-county first-teamer, McCall topped 1,000 yards despite getting banged up during a tough schedule. – James LaCombe JENNIFER REYNOLDS /The Daily News file photo Friendswood quarterback Luke Grden keeps the ball in the second quarter against the Cedar Park Timberwolves during the Region III- 5A-I area playoff game at NRG Stadium in Houston.
