Notes de l'éditeur
Technology Use Plan Presented by Denise Reilley EdTech 501/Fall 2009 Boise State University This PowerPoint presentation is a technology use plan for the 21 st century…are you prepared?
“ Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” -- Malcolm X
When it comes to integrating technology into the classrooms, do you know how to proceed?
To integrate technology, you must first start with a plan! “ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
Why develop a technology use plan?
What is a technology use plan?
Who should be a part of the team and planning process? The technology use plan will be created by a team consisting of…
What are the steps in developing a technology use plan? Putting the pieces together to form a cohesive plan.
Image Source: National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) “Technology at Your Fingertips” http://nces.ed.gov/pubs98/tech/index.asp There are many published methods for building technology solutions, and they generally contain similar types of elements. You should note that Steps 2 and 3 should be done simultaneously, and so should Steps 5 and 6.
What is a vision statement? Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_planning#Vision.2C_mission_and_values
“ Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.” --Chinese Proverb
This is sample vision statement– your planning team will be able to start with this sample and build on it. Source: Beverly Hills Unified School District: http://bhusd.org/edtech/pdf/BHUSD_Technology_Use_Plan_2007-2010.pdf Will be edited and revised by the planning team. The initial vision statement is to use technology to improve student learning and instructional use of technology.
Vision Statement (continued) This is sample vision statement– your planning team will be able to start with this sample and build on it.
Technology plan goals and objectives Link: http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=NETS The plan goals and objectives will also be created and edited by the planning team. The initial goals are…
Do you know your students and their needs? What are you doing to keep up?
What needs should be addressed in the assessment instrument? The needs assessment survey will be an evaluation tool administered to faculty and staff members. This instrument will be used to understand the current use of technology and to address future needs.
How we read has changed over the last two years, look at these books then and now! Staff development is essential in keeping up with technology.
Suggestions for staff development Provide opportunities and incentives
How to evaluate the technology plan Frequent evaluation is needed for constantly changing technology!
Timeline for the development and implementation of the plan. Your planning team will establish a timeline according to state standards.
Planning for the Tools of the Future should be your top priority This is a sample of the search tools we currently use in education Education Bookmarks as of November 2009: http://edu.allmyfaves.com/
Start planning now for the future! Creating a system that supports learning in the digital age should be a top priority.
