Action Plan Update



The Plan Rolls On 


My action plan is moving along.  I am currently working on a proposal to present to the CEO, Development Director, Financial Manager and my Principal.  The proposal will entail information on price quotes for the MOBI viewer, Smart boards, ELMO projectors and AV carts for the school.  I've done a great deal of research on the pricing for each of these pieces of equipment.  Now I have present this information, in order to get the approval of these committee members then the information will be used in conjunction with a Grant proposal.  

No Pressure!  AGGGH!!  

I must be on top of my game when I present this information.  My proposal must be informative, but concise about the importance technology can play for the students and teachers.  I must also be capable of saving the school some money in order to get technology in this school.  I'm still compiling information for my proposal therefore all my bases will be covered and all questions will be answered.  I will keep you posted on how the proposal went.  

Wish me Luck.

Tour of T. H. Rogers (SMARTboards)

My action research plan is coming along.  I planned a SMART board observation tour at T. H. Rogers for the teachers on October 3, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.   Ms. Russell was showed us four classes that use assistive technology along with the SMART board.  The teachers were impressed with all of the technology, T.H. Rogers had for their teacher unlike their school.  Avondale House doesn't have any technology therefore I'm working hard to get them ready for the 21st century.  While on the tour we visited a PPCD class and a hearing-impaired class, so the teachers could observed how they implemented the technology within their lessons.  Some of the teachers took photos of how the boards were displayed in the class in order to show my site supervisor.  After the tour, I spoke with my site supervisor, she was pleased with what was discussed and with the pictures. Therefore she decided another tour was in order but this time she and the budget manager wanted to observe.  This observation will take place Friday, October 12, 2012.  I will keep you post on how it went.

Group Google Site

Now that our course has come to an end, I thought I would share my groups creation.  It was a tedious process but we were able to complete our task.   Hooray here's the final product, excellent work ladies.
