This is a brief 10 minute summary of the technology changes in the Ottawa Catholic School Board over the last 3 years and the initiatives that are now part of our learning technologies transition process. Learning in the 21st Century is the framework to support our Board priorities of Success for Students, Success for Staff, and Stewardship of Resources.
This is a PPT presentation developed as the basis for a class introduction and discussion about integrating technology and Web 2.0 into our classroom more.
I've had some reluctant students in past semesters who have not taken to some of the tools I've introduced because either:
a) they weren't confident with technology and sought to avoid using it
b) perceived that these sorts of tools and approaches didn't belong in the classroom (a view I think we teachers are guilty partly to blame for).
So I created this as an intro for the new semester to provoke discussion and hopefully get all students on board, even those from the above two categories. :)

Editor's Notes
A 10 minute Overview of the Technology Process within the Ottawa Catholic School Board – shared at Smart Technologies, July 2012
Our process began 3 years ago with a systemic review of the department and the technological needs of our schools and an environmental scan of what was happening in the community
Look back on where we were as a Board 3 years ago – similar to many Boards
We now annually review our planning document, Towards 2020 – Connecting with Our Students
Example of our Board priorities and framework for 21st Century Learning
We recognize that technology is not the answer, it is a support framework for our key priorities of student and staff success
Our assumption is that engagement leads to achievement, and at all times we need to keep students as the focus
Infrastructure must be secure and reliable
This slide gives you an idea of what is happening with Bring Your Own Device as more and more students bring devices to school. You’ll see that there are over 4600 iPods connecting everyday – I wonder how many of your students have an iPod that could be used as a learning device?
Equipment is one small piece and curriculum is an important component
Lots of role modelsModel use of Google DocsDemonstrate efficiencies of web 2.0 features such as room booking and Board CalendarExec meetings using electronic Board meeting tools (Board Book)
Multiple in-service and delivery options
Change is constant with technology so we won’t be able to sit back we will continue to push for the best learning environment for our students
we are all part of the changes and we will provide support to staff and to students as we continue to transition to a 21st Century Learning and Teaching Environment
