We need to: Identify 6-8 schools that are not using it – What are they using?
Assign schools
- If you go to a school and you know who the tech teacher is, set the appt. with them. If you don’t know the tech teacher, contact the principal to get to the person you should meet with.
- We will each take 9 schools and we will ask these questions.
- Are you teaching keyboarding? If so, how? What grade levels? If you aren’t teaching keyboarding, why not? Are you teaching technology classes other than keyboarding. If so what are those classes and what do you cover? (this would be a scheduled elective class that is a computer technology class as opposed to something that is ‘integrated’)
- What is covered in your tech class.
- Should we ask – “Can you describe the level of collaboration within your building for curriculum driven technology projects?”
- Kirk will send us the Google form today
- Visit and report by Feb. 17th

Encourage iPad schools to attend iPad symposium
iBooks
The current volume purchasing model for these will not work for our district right now. This is because iBook licenses purchased can only be given to individual accounts and not to district accounts. Apple insisted the publishers lower their prices and publishers only agreed to this because they are making the purchases annual. Kirk will be meeting with an upper level executive from Apple soon.
