“I THOUGHT THE KIDS WOULD PLAY WITH THE BOXES. WITHIN FOUR MINUTES, ONE KID NOT ONLY OPENED THE BOX, FOUND THE ON-OFF SWITCH … POWERED IT UP. WITHIN FIVE DAYS, THEY WERE USING 47 APPS PER CHILD, PER DAY. WITHIN TWO WEEKS, THEY WERE SINGING ABC SONGS IN THE VILLAGE, AND WITHIN FIVE MONTHS, THEY HAD HACKED ANDROID,” NEGROPONTE SAID. “SOME IDIOT IN OUR ORGANIZATION OR IN THE MEDIA LAB HAD DISABLED THE CAMERA, AND THEY FIGURED OUT THE CAMERA, AND HAD HACKED ANDROID.”

Establish learning goals and define what we desire our students to embody when they leave our institution to be successful in their future.

2012-2013Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Deepened Knowledge Base. Create integration plan of goals within existing curriculum structure.

Provide students developmentally appropriate access to a learning, computing device.

Provide the professional development necessary to effectively use technology to transform learning in the classroom.

Provide a learning ecosystem in which digital and physical environments are met in a manner that affords students the best potential for learning.

Provide the necessary infrastructure to effectively, predictably, and reliably utilize technology in the learning experience.

2012-2013Fully implement 1:1 with netbooks running Linux in grades 3-8.

2012-2013Establish and refine scheduling of instructional technology coaches to provide job-embedded professional development. Establish 5 areas of focus for professional development through PD goals.

2012-2013Create a learning ecology that details the digital and physical learning spaces and tools for use for students.

2012-2013Increase existing bandwidth, evaluate existing wireless systems, and make necessary to core system in order to provide the necessary infrastructure for successful student access at current scale.

TECHNOLOGY PLANOVERVIEW AND GOALSDistrict 123 believes technology has the capacity to afford students opportunities to engage the process of learning more deeply and dynamically. The following plan is intended to provide direction, clarity, and vision for the use of technology in the learning experience for our students, staff and community.

Over the next three years, our work will focus on advancing each of the following five goals. Steps for implementation will be revisited at the end of each year and adjusted as necessary to continue moving the plan forward.
