District Technology Plan (Matt Kelly, Noelle Kreider)
- The plan must be revised and submitted to the state by December 5th in order to maintain district eligibility for technology grants and funding.
- To increase stakeholder involvement, site representatives were asked to seek input from their schools. A brainstorming worksheet (see attachment below) was provided. All responses are to be submitted online by October 1st. Input may be from site leadership team, department, or grade level groups.
- Representatives were encouraged to review the National Technology Standards as a supporting document for technology plan input. The profiles link on the website provides grade level examples.
Acceptable Use Policy (Noelle Kreider)
- The policy needs to be taught, not just passed out.
- The AUP Classroom poster should be posted in every classroom above the computers. The poster includes your school's login information for Grolier & EBSCO. You can access the poster from your eChalk account - login to your account and click My School in the left sidebar. The poster is attached to the Grolier login message.
- The NetSmartz link on every school's eChalk website provides lessons on Internet safety. iSAFE.org provides professional development and free curriculum materials addressing all Internet safety topics, including cyberbullying.
