The crunch…

Dr. Snyder would like us to pursue the 5 year plan aggressively leading to the due date of the TOP proposals (the first week of December). We would like to begin seeing the manifestations of our efforts next fall. She stressed both the importance of adding technological hardware, and personnel to support it.

Our first exercise was to construct our ideal classroom (if money were not an object) and to discuss what the instructional implications of our hardware “wish list” would be. For example, if all of our students had laptops and we had wifi access in these classrooms, our teachers would not be so limited with the direction of their lessons. When teachable moments present themselves, new content and resources are never more than a few mouse clicks away. Students would not need to be given hardcopies of worksheets, as these could all be distributed and collected electronically.

Other districts technology plans and committee resources

I’ve placed a sample district technology plan from the Rush Henrietta school district in the shared G drive > Instructional Services > Office of Instruction > District Technology Committee.  As our committee progresses we will put any other files created/used by the committee into this folder.
