  2. What is R-TIME? • R-TIME = “Request for Technology and Instructional Materials Evaluation” • A process and an electronic system • R-TIME Goals: • Ensure that new instructional materials align with NISD curriculum (C&I evaluation) • Ensure that new technology is compatible with NISD network and computers (technology evaluation) • Get needed materials in the hands of staff and students as quickly as possible! • Implemented October 2008 • Replaced the Technology Proposal System and the INS-03 paper form

  3. R-TIME “Big Ideas” • Over 4,200 items on the District-approved lists  no R-TIME needed!  do a P.O. NOTE: any employee can access the lists – no special login needed • Only “exceptions” require an R-TIME submissionNOTE: login required - authorized employees only • R-TIME Committee meets weekly to discuss and process new requests • Automated workflow and better communication  view status of your request as it moves through the system

  4.
