(Note: Most districts do have a plan. Contact district-level personnel for a copy if
needed.)
What are the three main curriculum goals in your district’s technology plan?
1. Teachers collaborate to make instructional decisions based on a diverse
data set, including student and teacher observations and reflections,
student work, formative and summative assessment results, and data from
analytics embedded within learning activities and software aided by real-
time availability of data visualizations, such as information dashboards.
2. In Future Ready schools, leaders ensure the availability of ongoing, job-
embedded, and relevant professional learning designed and led by
teachers with support from other experts. Clear outcomes for professional
learning are developed and align with a vision for student learning.
-Plan for, budget, purchase, and begin installing a network infrastructure that will support 1-
to-1 in each school.
-Pilot and select the devices for students and teachers that are robust yet affordable for a 1-
to-1 implementation.
-Determine the implementation model and select the pilot school/grades and teachers.
-Extend the Technology Advisory Committee to include community members and students in
addition to principals, teachers, and technology support that will meet regularly to discuss the
health and future of technology in our schools.
-Administer Levels of Teaching Innovation (LoTi) Digital Age Survey to all Teachers and Leaders
-Using the data from the LoTi Assessment, begin building professional learning modules for
teachers and leaders.
Does the plan seem achievable over the designated timeline? Why?
This plan is designed to take place over a 3-year span. It seems achievable because
some of the action steps listed above have already taken place.
In what ways would you like to see the plan improved?
I noticed that the plan is geared towards a 1-to-1 model for every classroom, but it
doesn’t state how and what type of instruction would take place once we get all of
these devices. Teachers need to understand how to implement instruction using Web
2.0 tools.
What could you, in your current or a future position, do to help support implementation
of the plan?
I am going to be our school’s media specialist this coming school year, and I plan to be
a resource to teachers. I am hoping to do some workshops on using Web 2.0 tools in
the classroom. If I can get teachers excited about using these tools in the classroom,
they are more likely to use them. I want to build the knowledge of how to use Literacy
and technology together.
How does the plan address the needs of diverse populations regarding digital technology
equity for low SES and gender groups (ie. females) and assistive technology for disabled
learners? If it does not, what are your recommendations?
Assessments can be aligned to UDL and adjusted to meet the needs of all
learners i.e.; increased font size, text to speech options, bilingual
dictionaries, glossaries and more.
In what ways does the plan tie-in to your local SIP?
The District Technology Plan correlates with our school’s mission statement because it
states that teachers will implement technology and best practices for all students. Our
SIP includes the use of technology for the use of our required reading and math
programs, but doesn’t include anything outside of that such as the use of Web 2.0
tools.
