Standard III - Management for Learning
Managing Technology
Artifact: Ipad Proposal
Description: During the first year of my internship, I initiated and prepared a proposal to the PTO to secure the funds necessary to purchase iPads for all the classrooms. This was the first time I have every created a proposal for a large-scale purchase. Our school goals are to layer in the technology to ensure that students have exposure and the skills necessary to be successful as a learner in the 21st century. The first year we purchased document cameras, then Smartboards, then iPads and Chromebooks. As a building leader, it is important to manage the resources and the funds to procure these resources. It is important to forecast large-scale purchases and to budget accordingly. After the iPads were purchased I created and led an iPad safety professional learning session for teachers to discuss policy and procedures. The safety policies and procedures were created to protect the welfare and safety of students as they use the devices. I also was a member of the Chromebook pilot team. Our building was selected to pilot these resources and then give feedback to the District as to what worked well and what didn’t on how to manage these resources.
Rationale for Inclusion and Reflection: This proposal and my other experiences demonstrate my knowledge of managing school technological resources, ensuring the safety of students, as well as, understanding the technological needs of a building.
