Select all that apply a. projector b. doc.cam c. interactive whiteboard d. student response system e. student work stations f. video/digital camera(s) g. open and wireless internet access h.

PLAN:

What do we already have:
 * Every teacher has a teacher work station with access to the Internet. Many teachers have doc.cams and projectors, but not everyone in the building does.
 * Some Tech Tier 1 and 2 folks have interactive boards and response systems.
 * Some classrooms have multiple students work stations and there are computer labs available.
 * Teachers have access to digital and video cameras.

What do we need and why: The highest priorities, according to our survey were: Student work station-access for all students, differentiation, student engagement, using the tools of the 21st Century Response system-student engagement, formative assessment, differentiation

How much will it cost: Student Work station $600 + associated costs

Response system $1899 or $800 if we receive the vendor grant

How will we get the money:
 * Apply for State or Federal Grants
 * Apply for Corporate Partnership Grants
 * Present technology levies to our community for hardware
 * Charitable Organizations

Professional Development Plan - equipment and integration training: We will contact the Promethean representative for training on our recently purchased Activboards. This will not cost us anything. We also will designate “teacher leaders” for ongoing professional development for implementing the Activboard technology. Curriculum rate or clock hours for teacher leaders.
