  • If you truly have an innovative idea that hasn't been walked before, you need to find people to walk with you."
  • It's one thing to dream, but a real leader rallies others to fill the gaps necessary to carry out that vision.
  • They must also hear and embrace input from others.

  • Evidence shows that students who create visual representations of a concept are more likely to retain information than those who do not.

      Book trailers are a way for students to show their understanding of a book in a visual way. It's also a great way for them to be creative and have fun!
  • The first step for students is creating a visual representation, or storyboard, of the video they hope to produce. The storyboard will help them clarify their topic and theme, and synthesize the information they hope to convey.

      Some great examples to use as a model for students when they are starting off.
  • In the classroom, book trailers are a fresh way for students to summarize what they have read while breaking out of the traditional book report format.
  • ow that a storyboard has been established, it’s time to put those tech skills to work! There are many software options for making a book trailer, including Photo Story and Windows Movie Maker, but for a truly theatrical experience, I prefer Apple’s iMovie.
  • I like to assign each student a role such as “film editor” or “art director” in order to make the project more personalized. You may also want to assign the role of “technical director” to an expert who can solve minor technical glitches.
  • What better way to celebrate student success than to have a screening party!

  • Technology planning is a process. TechSoup has broken it down into seven phases.Establish leadership and support. Assess your resources. Define your needs. Explore solutions. Write the plan. Get funding. Implement the plan.
  • Your organization's technology vision (together with a brief section about the current state of technology in your organization) can take the form of an executive summary. How will technology further your organization's mission? What is your long-range vision for technology use? While this isn't necessarily an essential part of the plan, this section can give an overview of your technology goals as they relate to your organization's mission.

      What is the tech vision for GMUHS? How can this apply to us?
  • Taking your hardware and software inventory may be the most well-defined part of technology planning. As a result, you have more options for how to get it done. If someone on staff has even a minimal knowledge of hardware and software vocabulary, you may well be able to do it in-house. Is there someone who knows how to find out the processor speed of a computer?

      In digging into my district tech plans I found we have not updated ours since 2012! This was shocking to me. This clear timeline of how to write and implement a plan will be very helpful in our writing of a new plan.
  • Whether or not you seek outside help, however, educating your own technology team is crucial to a successful plan. In order to understand the options a consultant presents to you, you need vocabulary and basic concepts. The content areas of TechSoup are a good place to start.

    This is from the US. Dept of Health and Human Services but talks about, "Technology planning is a process that takes time and resources in order to understand what is appropriate for staff and the organization. Program directors and their management staff may use this resource to further their understanding of what is involved in technology planning." While HeadStart is under this government branch and the terms don't completely line up with education lingo, it makes some great points that ISTE also mention.
