EDLD+5306+Meeting(2)


 * 3.** **CREATE THE FOLLOWING**: //A list of realistic expectations of technology integration and a possible timeline of those expectations.

1. The expectations must be achievable by all. Perhaps begin with using it with whole group instruction a minimum of twice a month initially and incorporate it in a literacy center in the younger grades.

2. Teachers can chose from a list of options and suggestions of how to use technology in their classrooms.

3. Make the teachers accountable for the use of the technology on the curriculum reports.BC

4. As technology professional development is introduced increase the expectations of use.//


 * How do these suggestions fit into the current timeline for technoloy and technology integration?**

1. It all hinges on getting the projectors into the classrooms for whole group instruction and for use with the clickers. Once that happens, the timeline can go forward. sw

2. Regular training and planning meeting times need to be worked into the schedule. sw I think that the sessions we had in June were great and more time for hands on dicsovery of current and new technology where teachers are working together would be good. dw


 * 4. LIST SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING:** //How/where can we find potential funding opportunities for the purchase of hardware and software?

1. There are a number of grants available through corporations. The challenge is finding someone who has time to sift through them and find ones that we would be eligible for and then someone to write them.

2. Find a parent who works for Dell or Hitachi, etc. who can get us a good discount or donation!!! sw 3. Research if there are any companies who partnership with schools???? This is a hard question.

This was a great meeting I thought. It took a little getting used to with the editing, but I think it is a neat idea. Beth had to sign off so we can quit whenever you like. This can be an ongoing meeting, which is the beauty of the Wiki.//
