7. Our Journey
 2 years ago we were able to purchase the common
items for every classroom
 We contracted to have our building become wireless
 We created a plan on how to acquire more technology
in future years

8. How did we get 100% buy-in?
 The power at Chappell is that 100% of the staff buy-in to the new technology
and have worked very hard to integrate the technology into all that they do
 When the elmos, etc came for classrooms we removed ALL overhead projectors
and TV carts from the building – this was difficult and put several teachers on
edge
 We spent professional development time to learn how to operate the new
systems, create lessons and share with colleagues
 At each staff meeting we continued to share our successes with the new
technology and some share new and creative ways to use technology
 As we integrated flip video cameras, more digital cameras, iPod touches, and
response clickers we assigned “go-to” people for each device. These teachers
became the teacher leaders for that specific technology. This helped to build
confidence and capacity in the building
 Addition of a 60% technology coach to trouble shoot and coach teachers

9. Professional Learning
 What does the Green Bay model look like?
 We have 7 late starts during the school year – the technology coach
works with K-2 staff while the 3-5 staff work with the literacy coach
and then we rotate the next late start
 At the start of every staff training we look at our blogs and update
them and learn/share new ideas on how to integrate more
 Teacher leaders hold after-school sessions on topics: PhotoStory,
Green Screen, Audacity
 We embed as much of the professional learning as possible so that
ALL staff are trained
 The technology coach trains secretaries, paraprofessionals and
other support staff on basic file management
 Our goal is to move ALL staff forward from where they are at

10. Role of Technology and Big 6 Coach
 To enhance technology skills of every staff member
 The coach also takes groups of students that are at grade
level or above to integrate literacy and technology. This
allows time for the regular ed teacher to double dip
students that are not at level
 The coach leads a podcasting group – Chappell Chatters
 She models lessons for staff and then follows a gradual
release model back to the classroom teacher
 Big 6 coordinator/coach
