In this article we look at goals to help with tech integration and schools. There are six cardinal steps to ensure that effective technology integration is part of school improvement. The first one is to connect with your schools vision and mission. We need to review and learn the instructional and curriculum goals of students based on analysis of disaggregated data. Two we need to manage our time. Establish long-, medium-, and short-term time frames to plan, implement, and evaluate your progress. You must be flexible and maintain a balance of the classroom. Three we need to learn standards. Learn the content, process, and context standards from the national staff development council to improve learning for students, teachers, and yourself. Four is to collaborate with others. Inventory capabilities and assists with administrators, teachers, parents, and peers. Five know your strengths and skills. List your strengths and greatest assets so that you can make the most of your opportunities. The last one is provide feedback and accountability. Compile and publish data for the services you provide to teachers.

How will this help the school?
I believe if the school, teachers, parents, and students are on the same page they can expand their technology awareness. I think helping each other out will only help the kids succeed as well as keep up with technology.


How will this help with teachers and students?
I think that if teachers know what they are talking about the kids will have a better relationship with the teacher. We know that we come from a technology based society and it is only going to grow, we as teachers need to keep up with the newest technology and help each other out. We could even learn from the students.
