Technology Minutes
December 4, 2001 

Members Present:  Paula Whitmer (District Technology Resource Teacher), Stacie Musgrave, Sue Kolka, Janie Fields, Cynthia Turner and Amy Ford

The committee reviewed computer requests.  A discussion was led on how to distribute our new ones.  Janie Fields will make sure that all requests are fulfilled the best way possible and according to the committee’s suggestions and consultation with Amy Ford.

As a committee, we are in the process of reviewing the math and reading components in the consolidated plan.  Our goal is to make technological integration suggestions to each component.  The reading component was reviewed and suggestions include the following:

Ø       Changing web-based activities to technology-based activities

Ø       Including technology as an option as an intervention strategy to help students below reading grade levels

Ø       Reading and math assessment responsible persons should include the technology teacher

Ø       Converting the technology teacher position to a part time technology teacher and part time technology resource teacher but having both positions filled by the same person

The committee will review on their time the math component of the consolidated plan.   After reviewing, suggestions will be emailed to Amy and she will then revise the component and turn in to Charlie Hardy.
