Objective:
Introduction – Technology Goals, Needs, & Integration Analysis
Professional Development
Pre-meeting read – participants will read from a selection of technology and 21st century skills articles; selecting the one of most interest or relevancy to their needs or insterest; these will be posted on the campus internal website
Gallery Walk – each station will provide the following information:
- National Technology Plan
- State Technology Plan
- District Technology Plan
- Campus STaR Chart
- Campus Improvement Plan (area that focuses on technology)
- Computer Lab/Mobile Computer Lab Usage chart
- Technology tools available through district and campus
- Samples of technology integration on campus
Staff will discuss strengths and weaknesses using the Sticky Note Graphing activity.
Staff members will design action plans for integrating at least one new tool a semester for the upcoming school year. This action plan will be submitted with the district’s Individual Professional Development Plan during the summative conference.
