Editor's Notes
Here is a picture of school along side of the school mission statement. Strengthening academic and technological competence is part of the mission of our school.
All of pictures in the slide are examples of technology. Some are modern others are dated. Do we want our school to be dated, or to move to the cutting edge.
A common stereotype is that technology is strictly computers. Updating to new computers will not make our school or students proficient with technology.
The ISTE has written standards for that work as a template for educators to follow when incorporating technology in schools. The ISTE Standards can be used to measure an administrators performance in the area of utilizing technology in his/her school.
Teachers received personal laptops , and participated in various technology related professional development facilitations. District consists of eight schools and 5400 students.
This specific graph compared the number of hours that poll respondents indicated using technology. This information is important due to the fact the number of hours school aged students spend. Note that some of the activities take place simultaneously.
This slide discusses the National Technology Goals. These are goals that schools nationwide are working towards achieving. Our school should have the same aspirations.
The above items are recommendations from IMPACT. Which is a media and technology integration model developed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
Online Learning is a significant example of educational technology. Online learning allows for many new opportunities for our students. Online learning is one area using technology that offers opportunities for our students.
Technology and being vested in technology involves more that just good intentions. A commitment from several parties including local tax payers, citizens, teachers, parents, and students is needed. The first step starts with each of you our school board members.
