Education World® : The EDmin Planning Center standards and building active learning lessons to assess Education Hewlett Packard inspiring the use of technology. Programs From the US office of Educational http://www.education-world.com/plan_ctr/
Extractions: Home The EDmin Planning Center Archive T H E E D M I N P L A N N I N G C E N T E R By Dixie Conner In this time of state budget cuts and spending restraint when school districts face a federal mandate to increase student achievement and academic accountability, even as state education funding dwindles effective planning is critical for our nation's schools. Now, more than ever, districts must set priorities and develop detailed plans on how to achieve their goals. Writing strategic plans, school improvement plans, and/or technology plans can seem like a daunting task; often it's a chore no one seems to have time to complete. And no wonder! Most of those planning documents are written as endless narratives. Seldom utilized, they aren't seen as useful tools for getting a job done they're seen as onerous jobs in themselves. Technology plans, in particular, have been written primarily to plan for hardware acquisition, not to outline how technology integration can increase student academic performance. About the Author

Technology Standards For School Administrators developed to demonstrate the use of technology to better of a committee to jury proposed lessons for posting Rick returns to his office and sends email http://www.ncrtec.org/pd/tssa/lessons.htm
Extractions: Technology Lessons from the Central Office Leading Curriculum and Technology Use Curriculum Director Rick Tan rises early in the morning and checks his personal digital assistant (PDA) for the calendar of the days events and appointments. He logs on and checks email and then syncs his computer to his PDA. Upon arriving in the office he moves his work to his office workstation, checks voice mail and email, and responds. His first appointment is an 8:30 a.m. budget meeting with some staff physically present and others connected via compressed video. The department budget is projected, and changes are made simultaneously on the screen and on the server via wireless connectivity. Participants interact via voice and video and by sharing data and text using a collaborative software package. Everyone leaves the meeting with new budget figures at their fingertips whether on a laptop or PDA. After a quick calendar check, Mr. Tan proceeds down the hall to his next scheduled appointment, a district accountability meeting. District program leaders, participating at local and remote sites, download district performance reports, analyze the data in smaller focus groups, and report out areas of acute district concern. As participants brainstorm various plans of action to address areas of identified need, Rick uses concept-mapping software to construct an organizing framework for the ideas generated. Following the meeting, he posts the plans for review and comment on the district intranet within an online discussion area prepared earlier in the week.
