Integrating Technology
Jennifer Furnish, CTHS
Action Plan for Integrating Technology
1. Bi-monthly "Tech Tip" posted to a blog I will maintain that will be sent out to all faculty and staff. The "Tech Tip" will cover a free internet medium that teachers can use in the classroom, examples of how to use it, and an explanation of how the medium can be utilized in the creation of knowledge.
2. Technology sessions during staff development/in-service days. Here, I will focus on exposing faculty and staff to technology being embraced district wide. This can include information on email, grading systems, teacher websites, etc.
3. Create digital citizenship standards that explain district and campus expectations for proper technology use.
4. Attending technology conferences and seminars when possible to further my personal knowledge and expertise.

Tech-Tip
Remind 101 Allows teachers to "push" assignment reminders to students through text messaging. The application sends the text so it does not cost the student or teacher anything and neither parties' phone number appears!
Professional Development Session
Using GoogleApplications to increase student collaboration. GoogleApplications are a wonderful FREE resource that can be accessed from any computer with internet student. Multiple students can work on assignments at the same time... and they don't have to be at the same location!
Digital Citizenship Standards
Technology will be used for the creation of student knowledge and utilize mediums that are available to all students.
