Create
a plan to guide staff and students in the uses of technology to
enhance learning in all curricular areas.
ATTENDEES:
Cathy Pettigout, Linda Gregory, Mary Bethe
D'Amico, Corey Groll, Wendy Modzelewski, Lori Roe, Pat Sine
Updates
- Essential
Preconditions
- Richard
has supplied us with a list of existing District and school
commitments to technology.
- Standards
and Guidelines
(develop, adopt or adapt)
- Since
the NETS is nationally accepted and they closely support the
Delaware standards and the Cape curriculum guidelines, the
NETS will be used as standards for technology use.
- Plan for
integration with curriculum to ensure progress in both areas
- At
the 9/21 meeting a letter
and form
to be used for collecting existing technology integration
examples was developed. These were distributed to each of
the schools but returns were rather light.
Lori's New
Direction
- Lori
presented a new approad to collecting good models for technology
integration to be subsequently used in the district guide.
- Approach:
- Start
with the standards and PIs. Build from there. This capitalizes
on the school and teacher emphasis on achieving the standards.
- First,
consider which PIs could be well met using technology. (This
would include productivity tools, curriculum software, Web-based
lessons and activities and Web tools.)
- Annotate
each PI selected as to what technologies would be used.
- For
each one, describe in a sentence or two how technology could
be used by students to achieve the goal.
- For next
time? Should this be used with teachers? Should this be expanded
to a broader project?
- The
attendees agreed to work on this separately to see the feasibility
of the project. Each member will submit to the listserv by
December 15, ten examples of an annotated PI.
