Tech Planning for Next Year
- Technology Planning help from OSPI, http://www.k12.wa.us/EdTech/techplan.aspx
- Technology Literacy for students, http://www.k12.wa.us/EdTech/techliteracy.aspx
- Technology Requirements, http://www.k12.wa.us/EdTech/TechRequirments.aspx
- Many, many resources to look over
- Three teirs for students
- We need to self declare the way we want to measure student integration at 9th grade level
- Second year we need to show impovement
- Technology integration for staff and administration, http://www.k12.wa.us/EdTech/techintegration.aspx
- Do not use this as a desription of a teacher
- We are describing what is going on in the classroom, not the people
- Be careful not to use evaluative terms in describing teir levels
- Defining the teirs, http://www.k12.wa.us/EdTech/TechLitTiers.aspx
- Tier one - technology is being used to do grades make a presentation,
etc.
- Not the best learning return on the for the investment
- Tier two - teacher offer lessons via technology and students respond
via technology on a very limited scale
- Better return on investment
- Tier three - student centered classroom
- Responsibilites about what is used and how it is presented is decided by the students
- Best return on investment
- Tier one - technology is being used to do grades make a presentation,
etc.
- Discussion ensued about classroom management around student centered
learning, tier three, and technology enabling these goals
- Learning is not just accumulating knowledge. One has to forget the old information to make place for the new information. We in education are not slow learners, but slow forgetters. - Dick Barhhart
- Technology Essential Conditions, http://www.k12.wa.us/EdTech/essentialconditions.aspx
- Students use tecchnology often out side the classroom and sometimes in the classroom when required
SIP Process
- In the SIP there is a place to cite our levels and future planning
- We want to identify a tech goal as a building

Tech Literacy and PILOT
- TALK TO JEFF ABOUT THIS
Students Find Math more Engaging
- According to NetDay's third annual "Speak Up" survey, students
said they'd find
math more engaging if teachers integrated more technology into their lessons., http://eschoolnews.com/news/showStory.cfm?ArticleID=6323 - The complete study can be found at http://www.netday.org/downloads/SpeakUpReport_05.pdf
