4 Goals of Technology Plan

Spring 2010 , using District ARRA Funds: Laptops, projectors, document cameras were purchased for grades 4-8 Three District Academic Coaches for EDI & Technology were put in

place.

Year 1 (2010-11) Laptops, projectors, and document cameras will be purchased for all

core areas using EETT Formula ARRA Funds for grades 9-12 Teachers will be trained to effectively use the technology tools with EDI

delivery Year 2 (2011-12)

Teachers will continue to be trained to effectively use the technology tools with EDI delivery

District to explore funding for laptops, projectors, document cameras for K-3 classrooms

Year 3 (2012-13) Teachers having difficulty in using the technology tools with EDI

delivery will be retrained, coached, and supported District will continue to explore funding for laptops, projectors,

document cameras for K-3 classrooms

Goal #1Curriculum – Technology and EDI Delivery

Year 1 (2010-11) Grades K, 3, 6 - Teachers will be trained to use the technology

standards and Big6™ Model of Information Literacy Grades 9-12

Core curriculum department teachers will develop standards-based projects that require students to use technology by content area and grade level to address the technology standards.

Core curriculum department teachers will be trained to use the Big6™ Model of Information Literacy

Year 2 (2011-12) Grades 1, 4, 7 - Teachers will be trained to use the technology

Digital Citizenship Committee

April 2010 Met will all committee members Purpose of the committee

May 2010 Met by grade level

K-1 2-5 6-12

Teachers developed lessons Summer 2010

Grade level committee members met, or will be meeting, to complete the lessons

Process

Used a wiki, http://dccurric.pbworks.com, to post pre-selected sites reviewed by library coordinators and teacher librarians in the Central Valley

Developed 2-4 lessons (some in EDI format) Internet Use Agreement (7-12) Copyright (K-12) Plagiarism (K-12) Internet Safety (K-12)

Supplemental lessons/materials/websites also recommended for teachers to use

All lessons will be placed under Educator’s Corner under the specific grade level

Lesson Development

Grade 1 – Copyright/Plagiarism - EDI Lesson

Grades 9-12 – Implications of posting online- EDI Lesson

Reputation”

Examples of Lessons

All teachers are to teach the lessons to students.

Grades K, 1, 2 – 2x/yr. – January and May

Grades 3-12 – 4x/yr. – Aug./Sept., Oct., Jan., May

M.S. & H.S. need to decide which period to teach the lessons

Windows for Teaching Lessons

Lessons will be taught by classroom teachers during the established windows.

On a PowerSchool roll sheet, with the technology lesson title printed on top, each teacher will check off the student’s name if the student received the lesson.

Sites will provide one opportunity for make-up (before school, lunch, after school)

Accountability

At the end of the window, ALL teachers will turn in their roll sheets, with the students’ names checked off, and their signature to the Principal. *Teacher signature on the roll sheet verifies ‘the teaching of the required lesson’.

The Principal will send the roll sheets in a folder to Carol Doerksen at OCHS.

All Technology Lesson “windows” will be on the Staff Development Calendar and on the Week at a Glance.

Accountability

Describe the process and accountability for teaching the Copyright and Internet Safety lessons.

What will this look like at your site?
