    44. How is the Walk-Through process going? eWalk Easy to use Handheld stores and uploads data Choices for reporting data are excellent Data collection and analyzing much easier Immediate data Takes the evaluation out of the process Able to focus more on student learning Keeps us from staying in rooms too long More efficient Easy option to enter on website too Great ways to disaggregate data Easier to disseminate results to teachers Tabulation of % and graphs is automatic Helps focus on specifics of walks instead of scripting everything Does not rely on internet access

    45. How is the Walk-Through process going? Cons: Difficult to locate and identify standards in an expedient manner More difficult/time consuming to analyze and share the data without technology Lack of uniformity without software Difficult to train and support with multiple versions

    46. Current Status Pilot extended to 30 more Palm TX and other eWalk users bringing the total number of pilot users to 89 3 handheld computers per HS 2 handheld computers per MS and ES All new users have the Enhanced Five Point Walkthrough Template Pilot runs through the end of May Training materials/ support site created

    47. Recommended Next Steps Collect feedback from extended pilot group in a few weeks to determine current needs/issues Purchase Initial eWalk quote – $24,000 for district-wide purchase 350 users X $70 = $24,500 eWalk annual license fee for 10-24 administrators ($100/user/year) eWalk annual license fee for 75-99 administrators ($85/user/year) eWalk annual license fee for 300-399 administrators ($70/user/year) eWalk annual license fee for 500-749 administrators ($60/user/year) Handhelds on Bid List: Dell Axim ($277.25) and Palm TX ($255.29) Training proposed for the week of Leadership Kickoff
