Team Goal / Focus Question

 * Our goal is to get classroom teachers to integrate technology into their lesson plans and use the available technology they have in their classroom.
 * How can we encourage teachers to integrate technology into their classroom?

Learning Plan
We have all presented training opportunities on technology. We participate in technology professional development. We are familiar with technology tools. ||
 * What knowledge and experience do we already have in this area? || Each of us have/are classroom teachers.
 * What do we need to know, explore, and learn, and be able to do in order to reach our goal? || We need to know the current levels of technology integration in each classroom, and have a general awareness of each teacher's curriculum needs. We also need to explore and locate technology resources to match the teacher's needs. ||
 * How and where will we get this information and skill? || We will conduct an annual survey assessing the levels of technology integration, consult colleagues in their areas of expertise, read professional publications, and seek additional professional development in technology. ||
 * What resources will we need? || Professional development funds to support substitutes for training, access to adequate technology resources, sufficient training on both existing and new technology equipment. ||

Action Plan
(Keep this doable?) || Annually, each school should have a hands-on training teachers on new and existing technology equipment. We could provide each school with a list of helpful websites. ||
 * What specific tasks do we need to accomplish by the end of the school year?
 * What are our main tasks? || Training support and follow up. ||
 * What kind of timeline do we propose for the remainder of the tasks? (Put them on a calendar) || This will be an ongoing process. ||
