Communication

This page documents communication with various members of the team.

Early September 2009, I asked members of the staff to join my professional committee for this technology plan (Janis, Sandy, Kristi, Marie, and Ronnie).

Since then I have only been able to communicate either face-to-face or through email.

Janis and I discussed whether or not there is a current technology plan for the school. She informed me that there was not one in place and with the development of the new building that will be opening in 2012, we need to move quickly. She went on further to discuss some of the road blocks that have come about in the past when trying to implement technology into the school. Janis went on to provide me with members of the school who are experienced grant writers and have a strong interest in implementing technology in the school, Theresa and Tara. Due to the beginning of the year chaos, I have not yet asked them to join the professional committe, but will be looking to do so once the school has settled from all of the changes.

Some things that they tried to implement but were denied by the district were laptop carts, camera carts, and new computers to name a few. Grants were written for these devices but was turned down by the district. The school did end up with "newer" computers that came from another school within the district.

Sandy was able to join the wiki but was not successful in finding the survey. I was able to show here where she could find the survery on the wiki and so that it can be completed.

Kristi expressed a strong desire for ELMO's and LCD projectors for the classroom. She states that her life would be much easier if she had both of those.
