Tech_Integration

​Welcome to the development page for the 1:1 intiative

I was able to procure $830K for a 1:1 initiative for my campus. Implementation will begin in August, 2010. We are very excited about the opportunities available to use, but must also overcome the technophobia of the teaching staff. It is over whelming for some of our teachers to think about what they will be able to do (or not know what to do) with all of this new access.

In my class we went over how to do every google application. It would be neat to make sure all kids have emails and teachers can post their calenders for their classes. Another idea would be to have quizzes using it instead of printing out paper for them. (Sorry I messed up your numbering, I am not sure how to change that) - Mary Evelyn
 * __Below are the ideas that I think I need to address early.__**
 * 1) What are the basics (Internet Applications, software programs, etc.) that teachers should know to create a class/lesson that supports the 1:1?
 * 1) How much time is needed to develop a basic functional understanding of the above?
 * 2) What are some strategies/resources available to modify lesson designs to integrate technology into the classroom?
 * 3) __ [] __
 * 4) What are some quick activities that teachers can immediately implement into their lessons?
 * 5) What are some best practices in monitoring students when laptops are in use?


 * __Professional Development__**
 * We will be running a technology camp over the summer for 25 teachers (about 25% of the staff) and teachers will be paid for 18 hours of time to develop curriculum and lesson. During the school year, the tech camp provider will come back 7 times and teachers will be able to meet with tha person. Approx. 4 people will be able to attend different conferences throughout the year (NECC, METC, ICE, T-cubed, etc.).
 * Thoughts and comments?
