This document outlines Kristina List's plan to learn and implement new technologies in her classroom over the course of the school year. She will learn technologies for personal gain, to benefit her students, and to improve her teaching. Some specific technologies she mentions learning include Prezi, SlideShare, Evernote, Grockit, Kerpoof, Jing, and LiveBinders. She provides a timeline for when she will learn each technology and how she intends to implement them. To assess the effectiveness of the new technologies, Kristina will monitor student engagement, test scores, teacher feedback, and student portfolios.
