Reflection

            Having a school site technology plan is important because technology is always changing and it is good to have a plan.  This particular school site technology plan is based on Magnolia Elementary.  Though this plan is not in place it is a fine model of all the components needed in such a plan.  In the plan goals, benchmarks, and timelines are established.  Supporting is an important part of a plan because if the support is not in place the plan will most likely fail.  The last component is funding.  Money is always a necessity.

            Along with a school site plan it is also important to have a classroom technology plan.  The focus is on what you would like your students to know about technology.  Again you need to establish objectives, benchmarks, and a timeline.  What methods are going to be used and followed to show that your students have mastered that use of that certain technology concept?  Students need to learn about technology so each classroom should have a plan to ensure technology knowledge is gained.

            I am constantly attending professional development workshops about technology.  It is important to me to keep learning what our district is offering in terms of technology and how we can use it effectively.  The screen shot shows different technology trainings I have attended.
