Continue to collect data on mastery of the competencies to use for evaluating how students have met the technology goals and objectives. The technology committee continues to refine the data collection process and set goals as the first data is analyzed. Student competency checklists will continue to be completed by classroom teachers at the end of each year. Continue to improve and maintain our school web page by developing its potential for student learning, community communication, teacher planning, video conferencing and display of student work. HyperStudio Fundamentals and Web Page design sessions are offered through Tech Tuesday inservice training sessions.
Clubs continue to be offered with student multimedia and web page products produced.
A Teacher-Research Project on the computer club was conducted to determine how students work together on ThinkQuest, Jr. competition teams. Students and teachers use a variety of media applications to display and share what they have learned. The number of grants and the final reports for the grants will determine the effective use of multimedia and learning. One such report was written concerning the use of WiggleWorks, an electronic literacy program. Students and teachers demonstrate safe technology practices such as not downloading mail attachments from unknown sources and giving out personal information in chat rooms.
