Technology+Application+Agenda+Timeline

  L E T' S B R A I N S T O R M   Let's set a time line for developing an agenda. Read the following information which discusses the project we are developing. We will develop the agenda on the agenda page, not on this page. The time line discussion will be at the bottom of this page.    I want to install smart boards (Promethean boards) in classrooms of one grade level. The school already has these boards on campus. We need to develop an agenda to help guide us as we determine: the grade level we will target; who will be the facilitator; and a list of community members that may help  To help teachers implement the technology into their curriculum we will develop some activities to assist them. The teachers receiving the Smart Boards need to know how to use and implement them in their classrooms. We will require the teachers to complete a series of activities to help them transition the boards into their classrooms. Here are some suggestions for activities: the purpose of each activity; the activity's steps; the estimated time for each activity.   An example of a beginning activity might be to have the community members create a shared vision.

I will start the time line process. You may change, edit or add to the time line. Since school will be commencing in a few weeks, we should start immediately. .  I think the agenda should be finalized by Thursday, August 5th. . Reva Meshell...

Yes sir, I agree with this time line.

ASAP! Teachers have started preparing their classroom environments and will be receptive to the agenda prior to the scheduled events during their inservice week. **Julia Alford Rockdale High School-Sophomore English/Fine Arts** I agree with Mrs. Hewitt. This is perfect timing considering that most teachers, including myself are returning to school next week to prepare for the arrival of their students. Reva Meshell will be great as the facilitator. We can also solicit the help/advice of Ted Lansing because he installs Smart Boards.

Mona Mondin I agree that the time to initiate the training and use of the Smartboard would be at the beginning of the school year and follow-up training should take place so teachers can become more proficient as the year progresses.
