Beyond a Word Doc - Developing a Collaborative Technology Plan

Innovative Methods for Writing and Delivering your Technology Plan

Beyond a Word Doc: Innovative Methods for Writing and Delivering your Technology Plan Developing your school district's Instructional Technology Plan is a major undertaking that involves a number of different contributors. How can you create your plan with web-based collaborative tools that put more emphasis on DEVELOPING the plan instead of MEETING to develop the plan? Join Christopher Wells from Gwinnett County Public Schools to discuss ideas around collaboration and delivery of your district's plan. This session is an interactive discussion with examples, ideas, and resources for crafting a solid plan that can be distributed on the web or in print to your school community. If you are part of the technology plan update team, this is a session you should not miss!
