Technology Focus Area 1 – Student Learning The following tables list the 2013 - 2016 Technology Goals, Strategies, and Activities. The Committee reviewed each strategy and activity and reported on the status.

CSIP Goal 1: All Francis Howell students will engage in rigorous instruction driven by technology-enriched curricula to attain high levels of academic achievement and performance that ensures college and career readiness.

Objective: We are still working on this. We were thinking of having 3 objectives dealing with curriculum, assessment, and instruction. We wanted something about integration of the 21st Century Skills with academic curriculum.


 * Notes from Jan. 9, 2013 **
 * **Objective one change "opportunities to" to "opportunities for" **
 * **On the first Objective **
 * **change the first Action Step to read "Provide personalized virtual opportunities to extend learning beyond the school day (sef-directed, collaborative, etc.) Add gifted teachers to the Responsible Persons box **
 * **We are looking at the 3rd and 5th action steps because they are so similar. Maybe combine them. Add curriculum writers to the Responsible Persons box. Add stipend money for curriculum writers to the Additional Resources/Costs box. **
 * **Change the 4th action step to read "Require students to take at least one online course as part of graduation requirements." Could this one cost? **
 * ****Add **ETS ** ******to the Responsible Persons box on the 6th action step. Many content leaders do not know how to do this. **
 * **On the last Objective add the Action Step "Administer the district technology test to 6th graders in the first quarter of the school year and to 8th graders at the end of the 4th quarter." **
 * **We agree on the other Objectives and Strategies. **
 * **Before our next meeting we are all going to look at the rest of the action steps in the draft plan for revisions. We will look at the minutes of the November meeting to see that all suggestions are in the 2013-2016 draft plan. We will discuss them at the next meeting. **

Strategy 2: (CSIP 1,) (MSIP 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.8, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3) (METSP S1, S2)

 * Brainstorming ideas:**

November 14, 2012 Action Steps Brainstorming
 * Student discounts for software (like we have for employees)
 * Assess students to determine how much they are using technology to support their learning. (This is will create yearly goals to increase this number on the survey every year.) -- Could this be our big objective? Like......The percent of students indicating they use technology to support their learning will increase from X% to X% as measured by the district student survey. -
 * Keep - Curriculum project teams will embed learning activities that incorporate technology skills that reflect the 21st Century Framework skills (rewrite)
 * Keep - Develop a K-12 scope and sequence for the teaching and learning of technology skills that can be integrated into curriculum and aligned with adopted standards.
 * Keep - Increase the proficiency level of 8th grade students a measured by the 8th grade technology assessment each year. (will need to revise)
 * Keep? - Expand the use of the A+ software online learning system for MS and HS.
 * Rewrite for new subjects - Implement PLTW at the HS level to increase opportunities in METS subjects. (There is a medical component to this?)
 * Keep? - Provide the use of technology to strengthen student understanding at the MS level for science curriculum. (Expand to math? Gismos?)
 * Add - keyboarding starting at the 3rd grade.
 * Add - Revise curriculum with technology integration
 * Add - Implement inquiry-based instructional model
 * Add - Instructional delivery in and out of the classroom - opportunities for students to work at home or if they don't have technology have time after school in labs
 * Add - online learning opportunities
 * Add - something about adding high school technology classes, like general computing, networking, troubleshooting, etc. (look at business curriculum)
 * Add - skills for students reflecting the common core standards

> We need more rigorous curriculum that incorporates social learning/media tools and 21st century global, authentic learning opportunities. - Curriculum needs to include more inquiry, problem solving, etc.
 * Strategy - Provide opportunities to students to think critically, collaborate, create, and communicate in a digital world.**
 * 1) Provide personalized learning opportunities to extend learning beyond the school day (self-directed, collaborative, etc
 * 2) Make sure technology integration/resources are are looked at when adopting textbooks. Move towards electronic textbooks and resources. - Ensure that an instructional technology expert is serves on the curriculum advisory & textbook adoption committees.
 * 3) Offer more online learning opportunities to students.
 * 4) Technology embedded in elementary curriculum. (Needs to be more rigorous every time curriculum is updated.)

Not sure if this is possible - Research & develop a K-12 scope and sequence of tech skills required by CCSS.
