Meeting Notes
Reviewed Goals/Emphasis for 2014-15 school year and decided they did still fit our purpose:
- Encourage the incorporation of the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) into teaching and learning
- Help facilitate the integration of technology into the curriculum
To help us implement our goals we set sub-goals for this year:
- Students and teachers will understand how to use Google Chromebooks and Google Drive
- As a school we will work to implement our current technology across grade levels and disciplines
Strategies for Implementation
- Standardizing student passwords for Google Drive and GCSD email/computers?
- Create a teacher transition guide for using Google Drive (to encourage use and start shifting from using home directories) possibly incorporating goals for usage each quarter, or shifting items for a quarter to Drive
- Targeted professional development lead by RMS staff and/or district staff on using Chromebooks with the thought that sessions will be by department and/or area of interest with more "make-and-take" style sessions
- Create/find guides (video or otherwise) to help students and teachers navigate the new equipment/software/apps and make them available on the staff drive and online
