Evaluation Cont. • Informal interviews conducted annually by the campus technologist • Focus groups with representative from each campus conducted twice annually reflecting on the district plans objectives on a campus by campus basis • Integration of training into the classroom as measured by lesson plans and the number and type of technology and distance learning projects • Monitoring and documentation of community access to technology resources and information on the campuses and website • Yearly inventory of hardware and software • Three meeting annually with administrative staff reviewing progress in meeting district technology goals • Review progress toward completion of teacher competencies • Usage reports kept by information systems
Suggestions for Technology Plan • Professional development opportunities should be available more frequently and during teacher availability times. • Campuses should have equal access to technology. Old schools should not be “left in the dust”. • Students should have a say in what they believe they want to achieve as their technology goals. • There should be more personnel available for assistance with professional development and for technological issues. • Plan should be followed, consistently without bias of teachers or schools. • Plan should be outlined in more detail about exactly what experiences students should be exposed to.
