14.1 Candidates will be able to create a technology vision for a school.
I created a technology vision for my school based on the teachers, resources, and population. My technology vision is that at least three teachers will experiment with Skype and integrate this technology with their lessons. After a lesson, the teachers will reflect on their findings and discuss what they would change. Hopefully by following year, we will have other teachers on board who want to incorporate more technology in their classrooms. From a survey, I have learned that multiple teachers are currently on the augmentation level and my goal is that they advance towards the redefinition level.
14.2 Candidates will be able to demonstrate the ability to lead technology initiatives at the school or district level.
For my proposal, I am introducing how to integrate Skype in the classroom to multiple teachers. My goal is to motivate teachers on using more technology in their classroom. I planned on using Skype as a technology initiative because our school can knock down the walls and collaborate with students globally. My school's population is majority white. With technology, we can connect with other classrooms globally and learn about different races.
