II.E.  Developing leadership techniques for working with all levels of the educational community and to manage and administer instructional technology programs at the building and district levels including:

• developing plans to assess the technological needs and resources, and to evaluate technology implementation and outcomes

• developing plans to configure computer/technology systems and related peripherals in laboratory, classroom clusters, and other instructional and administrative arrangements

• developing systems for the secure maintenance of student records

 

Reflection: Though I have created only one technology plan, I feel like that could be a valuable resource to a technology planning committee. I have learned how to address all of the critical issues that should be included in a technology plan, and I understand the importance of recording student data in order to track progress. When given different options for a final project in GDIT 707, I chose to write a grant for hardware to implement a computer science curriculum at a private school. I felt like I could use some extra practice in this area, and the final project was a great way to do it in a low-pressure environment where I could get a lot of feedback.

 

Rating: Meets expectation

 

Artifacts:

• I worked with three other students to create this technology plan. This plan was created in order to meet the technological needs of a new school. There is an evaluation section at the end of the plan in order to assess the overall implementation of the technology within the school. Evaluations are also conducted throughout the school year to make sure the plan is being implemented properly.

• The grant that I created for the 717 course can be found here.
