Plan+Revision+2013

= Tech Plan Revision 2013-2017 = = =

Intro
toc The PUSD Technology Plan needs to be revised and revisited, before submitting to the state for approval in April 2013. An approved instructional technology plan provides and opportunity for us to distill our objectives around technology and is vital for erate funding. We will use this wiki to gather information, solicit feedback and share ideas, making the plan writing easier and more representative of our vision.

Many of us have worked in other committees- school site councils, curricular groups, strategic planning initiatives- my hope is that we can bring that varied experience and expertise to bear on technology use in the district.

Plan Needs
Our 2013-2017 technology plan will need:
 * a curriculum goal (proficiency for all students in ELA and Math?) that really asks us how technology positively effects student learning outcomes.
 * a plan on how and when cyber ethics, cyber safety and digital literacy will be addressed
 * a focus on measurable objectives and benchmarks
 * a focus on curriculum and the student, rather than the hardware and software
 * to consider the national and state tech plan objectives
 * follow the structure and form the state requires

Committee Focus
Our focus as a committee will be to delve into sections 3 and 4, District Curricular Goals and Professional Development, and rework our plan into one that will serve us as a living document for the next three years. It will have curricular goals, measurable benchmarks, and specific action items.

Topics to address
Our goals, objectives, and implementation activities will address these topics:
 * using technology to improve teaching and learning by supporting the district curricular goals.
 * how and when students will acquire the technology skills and information literacy skills needed to succeed in the classroom and the workplace.
 * how we will address the appropriate and ethical use of information technology in the classroom so that students can distinguish lawful from unlawful uses of copyrighted works, including the following topics: the concept and purpose of both copyright and fair use; downloading and peer-to-peer file sharing; and avoiding plagiarism
 * how the district will address Internet safety in social media
 * how the district ensures equitable technology access for all students
 * make student record keeping and assessment more efficient and supportive of teachers’ efforts to meet individual student academic needs.
 * use technology to improve two-way communication between home and school.
