The month of April also focused on TF/TL Standard VI – Social, Ethical, and Human Issues. I continued the implementation of the program to achieve equitable access to technology resources for all students (TF/TL-VI.E.1.) after school. In addition, professional development training on the topic of our newly created campus share drive and other available school management tools took place.

I had continued success with the implementation of the afterschool technology time. Students were given a presentation and directed towards an online quiz in order to teach online safety. Based on the success the afterschool project coordinator has opened the computer lab for before school use three days a week.

I also designed and facilitated professional development training based on TF/TL-VII.A.4. The training modeled integration of software used in the classroom (SIS). The array of tools available to teachers is impressive from student classification to TAKS scores. Also communicated and practiced was the function of the school share drive and its benefits.

When designing the training a wealth of new knowledge was gained, specifically with the new SIS and Gradebook software. The data available has almost 24/7 accessibility and contains usable critical information that will further assist in achieving our goal of technology integration in learning.
