Instructional_Technology_in+_the+21st_Century

__**Strategy #1- Blog**__
==We are going to create a blog for teachers to share their needs, successes, and recommendations for the effective integration of technological tools in the classroom. As instructional leaders, we will actively participate in and monitor the blog to provide and gather feedback. For example, teachers would be able to reflect on a recent training that was conducted and engage in portions of lesson study through the blog. This is especially effective in secondary schools where there are large numbers of teachers who do not have common plannning periods and find it difficult to actively collaborate in a face to face format.==

__**Strategy #2- Instructional Technology Best Practices**__
==We are going to expose our teachers to the instructionaltech.org website to provide them a window to some of the instructional technology strategies implemented districtwide. We would require teachers to collaborate in PLCs and apply strategies to their own classrooms. As teachers develop lessons, they would be able to share them with their peers. When they begin to feel more comfortable with the technology implementation, we will encourage them to post their own lesson and share their ideas with the rest of the district.==
