TECH TASKS

We will be continuing the Technology Tasks this year; however, we will be doing it in yet another slightly different way..

For the 2005-2006 school year we will differentiate the Tech Tasks. Teachers will complete our Individualized Technology Proficiency Profile (ITP), and from that we will work out an individual plan for Tech Tasks for the current year.

Note: those of you who are assigned to collaborate with another teacher four days a week will be asked to the come to the Training Lab one of those 45 minute periods instead. We will use that time to work on all things technology - complete the Technology Tasks, revise and update webpages, learn to utilize the available technology equipment available for checkout, etc.

If you do not need that time in the Training Lab, you will be expected to be in your collaborative teaching assignment. Just let me know if you do NOT wish to take advantage of Tech Time

If you are one of the teachers who do not have a collaborative teaching assignment, you are welcome and encouraged (but not required) to come at any time during the week during your planning. If you would like to come before school on Thursday mornings, I will be glad to be here then. We also can work ANY day after school between 2:35 and 2:55.

At the end of each semester, we will hold a drawing for a new classroom computer from the list of teachers who have completed a specified number of tech tasks.

I hope you will look at this as an opportunity to learn some new things that will help you in your classroom, and that you will be able to utilize the time during the week to come to the Lab.
