Engage in supervised field-based experiences with accomplished technology facilitators and/or directors.
Regularly meet with district CITs
(campus instructional technologists), Robert Harris (District Administrator of
Instructional Technology), and Ron Smith (District Administrator of Technical
Services).
On September 9, 2011, our group of
CIT’s met at the Highland Park High School library conference room. Our first
order of business was to discuss the new district Responsible Use Agreement
that was to replace the Acceptable Use form. As the new Responsible Agreement
form gets issued to campuses, teachers must sign the agreement and turn in to
their respective CITs on their campus. All forms are due by the end of
September to the Technology administration offices. We discussed how our
district Webmaster and administrator of Skyward was changing jobs and leaving
our district. We will have a new person taking over Web-mastering and another person
taking over Skyward, online registration, etc. We began discussing the
ramifications of the school boards reluctance to allow children under fifth
grade to be without a district email address. We discussed how so many innovative
web tools require an email address to create an account. One way to work
through the problem is for the teacher to create a Google account then use the “google+1”
email address as a “ghost” account. The
elementary CIT’s edited the district protocols for elementary teachers to
reflect the board decision on students not having district email addresses.
