Our goal is to take the good in the existing curriculum, throw out the unnecessary and outdated, add topics of relevancy for today’s students, and embed teaching the skills that today’s students need.

Using standards, research, learning theories and best practices, we are creating curricular goals and training plans for each department.

This means that they need to know things about the operating system, the tablet hardware, and the software tools they have at their disposal.

We are also trying to offer a summer speaker series that we hope faculty will find somewhat inspiring.

To assess the program, we are exploring ways to get baseline data. LOTI and some teaching survey’s made with Composica will be key components. We aren’t going to a 1-to-1 program to increase technology skills or use but because we think it’s a central ingredient in a 21st century learning environment and a necessary tool for the type of curriculum today’s students need.

In summary, the lessons I learned or had reiterated for me as I worked on the 1-to-1 plan are these: A personal learning network should be a requirement for all teachers. I’m increasingly drawn to the idea that it should be a requirement for our students as well. The training plan must be revised to ensure that faculty learn to create and maintain a network. Learning is non-linear. The more networked I become, the less linear things get. Ideas and plans exist in a state of constant revision. The rate at which ideas and information are generated is astounding. It requires a network to help filter and distill the information. Curriculum and Learning no longer have an endpoint, in part because of mass collaboration made possible by technology. The need to change is urgent. Our students' learning and futures depend on it.
