Conclusions/Discussions Cater Elementary has moved all areas from
Developing Tech in 2006-2007 to Advanced Tech by 2008-2009.
Educator Preparation and Development was an overall low scoring area. What opportunities can we create to improve in this area?
What can we do to keep improving our student technology use and incorporate more technology into the classroom?
