Notas do Editor
- A 10 minute Overview of the Technology Process within the Ottawa Catholic School Board – shared at Smart Technologies, July 2012
- Our process began 3 years ago with a systemic review of the department and the technological needs of our schools and an environmental scan of what was happening in the community
- Look back on where we were as a Board 3 years ago – similar to many Boards
- We now annually review our planning document, Towards 2020 – Connecting with Our Students
- Example of our Board priorities and framework for 21st Century Learning
- We recognize that technology is not the answer, it is a support framework for our key priorities of student and staff success
- Our assumption is that engagement leads to achievement, and at all times we need to keep students as the focus
- Infrastructure must be secure and reliable
- This slide gives you an idea of what is happening with Bring Your Own Device as more and more students bring devices to school. You’ll see that there are over 4600 iPods connecting everyday – I wonder how many of your students have an iPod that could be used as a learning device?
- Equipment is one small piece and curriculum is an important component
- Lots of role modelsModel use of Google DocsDemonstrate efficiencies of web 2.0 features such as room booking and Board CalendarExec meetings using electronic Board meeting tools (Board Book)
- Multiple in-service and delivery options
- Change is constant with technology so we won’t be able to sit back we will continue to push for the best learning environment for our students
- we are all part of the changes and we will provide support to staff and to students as we continue to transition to a 21st Century Learning and Teaching Environment
