Being on the technology committee at EPCHS, I am able to see more of the standards at work than other people in my building. Our team created a tech plan and we continue to revise and update it at our meetings each month. We are currently working on the deployment of 1:1. Our plan doesn't call for full deployment for at least another 2 years, but at least the ball is rolling. There is no question, we are behind in the times and we need to catch up with the age of the digital learner.
Looking at the standards, we have some work to do. As an administrator, it is important to model and promote the use of technology in the school. As a teacher, I don't feel that technology is being promoted or modeled as well as it could be in my school. Other key aspects that we could improve upon are the accessibility of technology in our school in every department and inspiring the purposeful change into the digital age. It seems to many that we have been dragging our feet through the technology movement. Hopefully we will get our pilot groups started this year and begin implementing technology in classes.
