Progress Report: May 2012 to Now

A lot has been accomplished:

10 Mbps broadband internet connectivity has been cabled and activated throughout the school

16 Wi-Fi secure access points have been installed 80 student iPads have been purchased, configured,

and are actively being used Staff members have participated in 60+ hours of

professional development on curriculum integration and technology strategies in the classroom

Applications that support learning are being vetted and incorporated in grades K – 8

This is just the beginning….

Page 6: Technology Rollout Plan

Addressed the Problems

Examples:

Conflict between DWP and the Internet Service Providers prevented the acquisition of increased broadband

Broadband connectivity increases were required to support the schools needs.

This took longer due to city permitting issues.

Broadband connectivity was finally installed in December 2012

Page 7: Technology Rollout Plan

March 2013 Status Report

Wireless access up and running around campus

80 student iPads on 2 separate carts are being used daily in classrooms

Continuous coaching for teachers on effective integration and implementation of technology

Dependable connectivity has expanded the use of Smartboards in classrooms

There is still more to do…

Technology Integration

Description of the Process A major focus in the classroom this year is integrating technology in the curriculum to further learning From Smart-Phones to iPads to Smart-Boards,

teachers are turning tools of technology into instruments of education.

Teachers are able to create visually stimulating and engaging PowerPoint presentations

Connect them to the content Make abstract concepts concrete and tangible

Smart-Board Technology It is like a giant dry-erase board and iPad all-in-one. A fantastic teaching and learning tool typically used

on a daily basis in many classrooms.

Application Evaluation Process Review current academic research Research success stories from other other schools Apply scoring based on application quality, cost and ability to

support the curriculum and balance the learning Pilot the best applications in the classroom Inventory applications for each grade level

New Application by Grade Level (sample) CORE APPS (School Wide):

Educreation, Popplet, Screencasting, Edmodo Primary Grades (K, 1, 2): Toontastic, Harper Collins,

Phonics Vowels, Memory!, ABC Touch Middle Elementary (3, 4, 5):

Trading Cards, Tap Quiz Maps, Splash Math Junior High (6, 7, 8):

Google Sketchup, QR, History Channel, The Revolution

8th Grade Examples: Student teams worked together to created six brand new

government states. They needed to figure out names, flags, laws to govern

the people and someone to represent them. Once they have elected a representative, those 6

special people discussed and debated and decided on the laws that will govern all 6 United States.

They used Keynote to work together on a unified team presentation all on their iPad tablets.

This is real life collaboration.

Student also learning to use the tablets as a research tool Students used the iPad as a resource to find selections of

The History Channel’s “The Story of the U.S.” to gain a very accurate historical view of America through the Revolutionary War.

7th Grade Examples: Students learn how to create their own Quick

Response (QR) codes and integrate them into their own projects.

Students are also using PowerPoint and Keynote to create digital presentations in Social Studies

Using the “Screencasting” application, student create their own sentences diagraming lessons will multiple parts of speech and multiple parts of a sentence.

During the 2012 election season, students were introduced to the concept of polling.

6th Grade Examples: Students create graphic organizers for literary terms

that have been presented in class. They use an iPad app called Popplet which allows

students to connect ideas and information. Students provide evidence of the literary terms. They

add visual aids (pictures) to enhance the overall presentation.

In Grammar students are using interactive Smart-Board lessons to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of pronouns.

“They can hardly contain themselves! Seriously...they are jumping out of their seats to get to the board and show what they know.”
