• Learning Context and School Culture• Learning Content• Technology Access• Information and Communication
Learning Context and School Learning Context and School CultureCulture
Technology-enabled performance-based learning environment
A variety of instructional and grouping strategies
Technology used as a tool to support student directed learning
Collaboration & communication with people outside the classroom
Convenient access to a variety of learning technologies
School culture of collaboration
Integrated/coherent instructional model
Students often lead the way
Success is shared & celebrated along the way
Learning Content and InformationLearning Content and Information• Pilot teachers in model classrooms, combining digital content
linked to standards to create powerful learning experiences for students
• But effective use of instructional technology in every classroom will require an integrated system that links six critical components:
CommunicationManagementAssessment
Activities ResourcesStandards
Units and lesson plans
Web-based content linked to standards
State & district learningexpectations
Email chats,web postedassignments
Student record,attendance, grading
Performance tasks & on-line assessments
Learning Content
Information & Communication
Learning Content & Learning Content & CommunicationCommunication
Standards• Put your district standards (learning expectations) on the
Web• Borrow existing models (Federal Way or Kent Schools, for
example)• Join a consortium or enroll in a fee-based service like
CopernicusActivities and Digital Resources• Activities (lesson plans) and resources (Web-based) linked
to standardsAssessment• On-line or computer-based assessment (i.e., STAR) linked
to standards• Show examples of classroom performance tasks • Publish (on the Web) examples of student work that
exemplify grade level work

Developmental Steps:1. Provide basic access for all
– 8:1 networked multimedia computers2. Create model classrooms, schools
and programs– Laptop program– 3/4:1 classrooms– 6:1 classrooms and mobile labs of
laptops or smart keyboards3. Build infrastructure on all
dimensions– Professional competency– Technical and system capacity– Curriculum and community
connections4. Expand target access
Goal: Promote positive, productive system-wide change by effectively implementing technology
Challenge: Layeringexpensive technology ontop of effective practices

• Every teacher needs a networked computer with basic productivity tools:– Word processor, spreadsheet,
presentation – Email and Web browser
• Teachers should also have electronic:– Access to student records– Attendance– Grading and report cards
• The Web creates the potential for:– Assignments on-line– Schools and classroom newsletters
(email and Web published)– Publishing student work– Sharing best practices (email bulletin
boards and Web published)

Status Report: There are a growing number of quality examples of Web-based information and powerful management tools.
However, there are very few examples of integrated, Web-based systems that provide:
• linked content
• easy access & use
• integrated tools
• security (as needed)
