Draft+of+Technology+Proposal+for+ASA+2010-2011

The problem:

We have 40 working computers for 190-200 students. But, while the students are drawn to using web 2.0 we, as teachers, use the computers almost exclusively for skill and drill, microsoft office applications and online classes. If we are to prepare our students for the future and engage them in more meaningful uses of technology we need to make some changes.

Proposed Goals:

1-Reserve the computers at least 3 periods a day for teachers who are interested in infusing technology into their curriculum to have access to them on a rotating basis. 2-Teach internet and technology literacy (wikis, collective intelligence, etc) 3-Have a select group of students create and present e-portfolios
