The document proposes a plan to introduce Cable in the Classroom (CIC) services to Central Square Middle School over the next year. CIC would provide free educational television programming and online resources. The plan outlines objectives to obtain CIC services for the school and classrooms, improve teaching and learning, and prepare students. It details necessary technology and equipment upgrades, a training plan for staff, benefits of CIC, risks, and a marketing plan to promote CIC to school staff. The timeline proposes completing wiring, equipment purchases, and training throughout the 2010-2011 school year to have CIC fully implemented by September 2011.

9. Cable in the Classroom’s is easily intertwined with the goals of the school library and the mission of the school. * CIC enhances learning for youth. * CIC is a strong educational tool for educators. * CIC leads a national effort to expand media literacy education to help schools and students understand and evaluate technology and media.
10. Analyze Benefits and Opportunities 1. Ensures that all users have the opportunity to access and use CIC in the educational curriculum. Makes implementation of some units more user friendly and interactive. 2. Can accomplish project goals and objectives within a lower budget and time frame then most other major projects. 3. Services and programming are constantly changing and updated, so service will not be outdated as quickly as others. This service can maintain up to the minute news and reports as they are happening before the students eyes. 4. A good portion of equipment is already in the building; keeping cost down. 5. An ongoing professional development program will enable teachers, administrators, and support staff to effectively integrate technology into instruction.(copyright will be covered in this training).

16. Message Delivery Strategies The key message for teachers will be in the form of video examples, Cable in the Classroom presentations and written information in the form of program guides, brochures and fliers. There will be follow up e-mails to the target population and a survey to get an indication of how teachers are feeling about the new service
