Full disclosure... This class was by far the most out of my comfort zone. This summer I took (and passed, yay!) the Tech Specialist test! However, afterward, I realized how much I still needed to learn about the wires and switches of technology. Our second meeting as a class, we really got to dive into all of that. It finally started to make sense. As a group, we created this slide deck that I definitely want to bookmark and reference as I move forward.
During this class, we collaborated in groups to create a Tech Plan. We chose as a group that we would center our tech plan around teaching digital citizenship using Digital Passport by CommonSense Media. It is a free curriculum that is web-based. This project was a huge undertaking and was a lot of work. In our final class meeting, we will present our final Tech Plan.
In order to help us write our Tech Plan, I looked at a similar plan our district had created when we went 1:1 with Chromebooks (grades 6, 7), Macbook Airs (grade 8), and iPads (grades 3-5).
I feel like as we were writing our plan, it helped when we created our presentation to break down what exactly all of the parts meant in cliffnote form.
Again, this class was a real stretch for me. However, I feel like I've grown a lot and really learned about all of the things that I felt like were foreign to me at the start of the class. I never realized how much went into a tech plan down to removing the unused material from the app catalog!
