  2. Email Content for Administrators In an effort to continuously seek ways to improve, we are conducting an Alabama Technology Transform 2020 Survey for Local School and District Administrators. We value your opinion and ask that you take the time to complete this survey. This data is critical to our Technology Planning Process. We will use this data in conjunction with information from our Technology Planning conversations held last spring between local school administrators, technology coordinators, and me.

It is located in the District Technology Diagnostics section under Inventory/Infrastructure—there are two questions to respond to there—it is under the second "Respond" link. • Select the Diagnostics & Surveys tab • Choose a template - Select Technology Diagnostic and give it a description • Click Start • Click Inventory/Infrastructure • Click the second Respond and then select click here and then you will be able to download the spreadsheet *Michael Robinson (Sylacauga) reported a duplicate entry on the template. Shannon responded to him that the duplicate entry has been deleted and a new template uploaded.

  9. The Technology Initiatives section will continue the approval of the Technology Plans for the districts.  I have provided the staff in charge of the Transform 2020 (Technology Plan) with the E-rate requirements and the information required on the approval letters.  As always you (the district) must include the required E-rate elements of the Technology Plan within your Technology Plans (Transform 2020) in order to be compliant with any P2 funding requests.  The minimum requirements are as follows:

  10. Technology plans must at a minimum contain the following elements: Clear goals and a realistic strategy for using telecommunications and information technology to improve education or library services; A professional development strategy to ensure that members of the staff know how to use these new technologies to improve education or library services; aneedsassessment of the telecommunication services, hardware, software, and other services that will be needed to improve education or library services; and an evaluation process that enables the school or library to monitor progress toward the specified goals and make mid-course corrections in response to new developments and opportunities as they arise. Prior to FY2011, tech plans must also include a sufficient budget to acquire and support the non-discounted elements of the plan (e.g., hardware, software, professional development, and other services).
