  2. Our Technology Goals • Goal 1: Hardware for the 21st Century • Goal 2: Access to Collaborative Technologies • Goal 3: Training and Maintenance

  3. Goal 1: Hardware for the 21st Century • Create technology-fueled learning communities where every classroom is equipped for 21st Century learning with laptops, iPads,, digital cameras (still and video), and SMARTboard/projector/document camera station. • Find sustainable, ongoing technology funding sources for hardware purchases.

  4. Goal 1: Hardware for the 21st Century • Create technology-fueled learning communities where every classroom is equipped for 21st Century learning with laptops, iPads,, digital cameras (still and video), and SMARTboard/projector/document camera station. • Purchasing laptops with a cart for each grade cohort. • Coordinating maintenance of carts.

  5. Goal 1: Hardware for the 21st Century • Create technology-fueled learning communities where every classroom is equipped for 21st Century learning with laptops, iPads,, digital cameras (still and video), and SMARTboard/projector/document camera station. • Coordination of purchasing iPads, and cameras for teacher use in classroom. • Coordinating purchasing consumables.

  6. Goal 1: Hardware for the 21st Century • Create technology-fueled learning communities where every classroom is equipped for 21st Century learning with laptops, iPads,, digital cameras (still and video), and SMARTboard/projector/document camera station. • Coordination of purchasing printers and consumables.

  7. Goal 2: Access to Collaborative Technologies • Provide an environment for technology collaboration, which is supported and evidenced through school, community and the world. • School community computer lab.

  8. Goal 2: Access to Collaborative Technologies • Provide an environment for technology collaboration, which is supported and evidenced through school, community and the world. • Universal access for staff: creation of space for collaboration via technology (i.e. Dropbox and Google spaces)

  9. Goal 2: Access to Collaborative Technologies • Provide an environment for technology collaboration, which is supported and evidenced through school, community and the world. • Create a Google space for communication.

  10. Goal # 3: Training and Maintenance • To provide the training needed for staff to maximize the use of technology in order to better their practice. To provide the needed support to ensure consistent and up-to-date maintenance of said technology. • SMART board training

  11. Goal # 3: Training and Maintenance • To provide the training needed for staff to maximize the use of technology in order to better their practice. To provide the needed support to ensure consistent and up-to-date maintenance of said technology. • Explore non-Department of Education training for technology use in the classroom

  12. Goal # 3: Training and Maintenance • To provide the training needed for staff to maximize the use of technology in order to better their practice. To provide the needed support to ensure consistent and up-to-date maintenance of said technology. • Hire a technology specialist to be permanently on staff.

  13. Goal # 3: Training and Maintenance • To provide the training needed for staff to maximize the use of technology in order to better their practice. To provide the needed support to ensure consistent and up-to-date maintenance of said technology. • Create robust protocols and systems to maintain and update hardware and software.

  14. Goal # 3: Training and Maintenance • To provide the training needed for staff to maximize the use of technology in order to better their practice. To provide the needed support to ensure consistent and up-to-date maintenance of said technology. • PTA tutorials for parents on technology related work and practice.

  15. Our SuccessesPart I • Received two Reso A grants through Councilwoman Mendez. • Totaling over $215,000! • ALL classrooms have SMARTboards or Promethean Boards. • We have Mac laptops in carts for each cohort. • ALL classrooms have a new desktop computer.

  16. Our SuccessesPart II • Recently received another grant through Councilwoman Mendez to refurbish the library, update the technology there for a listening center, a Promethean board, a moveable board. The funding will also allow us to replace all of the SMARTboards that are more than a year old with new Promethean boards, allowing us to better connect with the library and classroom work. • Totaling $200,000

  17. Next Steps… • Ongoing purchases of consumables. • Revisiting a technology liaison. • Revisit the idea of a technology center at school. • Fund professional development for teachers and technology. • Revisiting parent and student communication via technology • Create new goals for the technology team. • Online Safety Parent Information Session
