Action Plan E Learning Course Session 6

1. What are your goals for integrating Google applications into your school or personal practice? (List at least 2.) 1) We will use Google's calendar for our Master Calendar. 2) We will use Google docs for updating all of our school's plans i.e.technology, emergency, school improvment, etc.
2. What steps will you need to take to implement your vision? Our media resource specialists will provide professional development on Google docs, calendar, and blog. Each staff member will be required to subscribe to the school's blog. Each staff member will set up an account to have access to Google's calendar. The School Leadership Team will use Google docs to review our emergency, school improvement, and technology plan. Each member of the team must respond using a different color to share comments and edits. The media specialists will schedule time with each staff member as needed. Other personnel will be invited to assist and act as lead teachers based on their knowledge level as identified by our staff survey.
3. What key unanswered questions do you have about using Google applications? During this session, we reviewed other Google applications that I was not familiar with nor have I used them yet. My biggest question is about Google Applications Education Edition. What is the cost? Should we implement it? Do we have the equipment that we need for school-wide implementation.
4. Among school staff, who will be able to help you implement your vision? The School Leadership Team will play a key role in implementing our vision. They each have a small group of constituents that they meet with regularly. We do not have a technology coordinator, but I will use both of our media specialists to help implement our vision as well. Other key members will be one of our custodians who is a computer guru and a former student that helps us with technology.
