			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">I was surprised to discover that our district has a detailed plan for use of technology. This 94 page document entitled “<strong><em>In Support of Digital Age Student Learning &#8211; Information (Library Media) and Technology Plan, 2006-2009</em></strong>” can be found in the Featured Publications sections at the bottom of our district homepage (<a href="http://www.aasd.k12.wi.us/">http://www.aasd.k12.wi.us/</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Here is an outline of the document:</strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">The summary, introduction and      background are worth reading – these sections nicely explain the need for      this document and the goals outlined inside it.<o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black">In      step with any good executive report, page 10 displays the district’s “<strong>Technology      and Media Mission</strong>”. In the mission, the district describes a shared      vision that encompasses: equitable access, skilled personnel, professional      development, technical assistance, content standards and curriculum      resources, student-centered teaching, assessment and accountability,      community support, and a few other items</span><o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black">The      next section deals with an examination of our “<strong>Current Status and Needs      Assessment”</strong></span> (p. 20)<o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal">As educators, the most      interesting part of the report starts on p. 53 – “<strong>Program Goals &amp;      Objectives”</strong>, which leads into the “<strong>Implementation Action Plan</strong>”      on page 58. The Goals are outlined below:<u1:p></u1:p> <o:p></o:p>
<ul type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal">GOAL 1: Educators will       use technology as a tool to collect, review and/or analyze data to inform       instruction.<o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal">GOAL 2: Educators will       design lessons that effectively deliver curriculum content.<o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal">GOAL 3: Students will       possess the skills to access and create new knowledge; self assess and       communicate (disseminate through the use of media and technology       resources).<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal">p. 64 – 65 discuss the <strong>Budgeting</strong>      for the goals listed above<o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal"><strong>“Monitoring Progress and      Evaluating the Plan”</strong> is found on p. 69<o:p></o:p></li>
<p><u1:p></u1:p></p>
<li class="MsoNormal">And p. 74 Discusses <strong>“Procedures      and Policies”</strong><o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
