How
May I Help You?
Is there a piece of software you want to learn how to
use? Did you hear about a technology idea you want
to try, but you don't know where to start? Is
there a program you have been using for a while, but you
want to take it to a higher level? I can
meet with you individually to help you reach your
goals. Depending upon what you want to
learn, we may just need a few minutes before or after
school together. Other times, we may want to meet
during part of your planning time. Just send me an
email, and set up a time so I can help you reach your
goals! How
May I Help YOU!

District
Technology Assessment
Each year our district performs a District Technology
Assessment (DTA). Currently, the Technology
Resource Teachers (TRTs) use informal "Walk
Through" observations three times a year in
September, January, and again in April or May. The
data we collect helps us to learn about technology use
in the classroom, and assists us in planning job embedded
professional development.
Want
to learn more about what we are looking for on the DTA
"Walk Throughs?" We
use the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) scale.
To see examples of classroom instruction based on the
ACOT, go to "The Stages of Teaching with
Technology": http://teach.fcps.net/stt/index.htm
