Teacher+Laptop+Initative

=media type="custom" key="290639"= =What is the Teacher Laptop Initative?=

STRETCH Goal:
All SRSD teachers will use technology when appropriate, as a primary resource to enhance student learning.

SMART Goal:
Every SRSD teacher who receives a laptop computer will amend their existing classroom SMART goals and professional growth plans to include technolgy use, and will participate in a relevant online learning community during the 2007-08 school year. Changes in teaching practices will be measured through ancedotal reporting (survey, teacher journals, etc.)

Our ‘Technology Infused Vision’ from the present SRSD Draft Technology Plan believes that students must have access to teachers with the technical skills to integrate technology into classroom practice. Therefore, this initiative aims to provide teachers with the needed hardware, software, and appropriate professional development so that technology skills can be obtained and practiced within a framework consistent with current best practices in professional development.
