Abstract

This case will focus on the following situation: As the technology coordinator for a school district you receive a state grant to provide technology resources and professional development for every teacher in the intermediate (Grades 5-6), middle (Grades 7-8) and high school (Grades 9-12) classrooms in your district. Your superintendent and school board have asked you to: design differentiated professional development to meet all teachers’ needs; include some outside consultants but quickly build teacher capacity so future professional development can be facilitated by district employees; provide educational materials for teachers and parents about internet safety and legal issues; determine that the use of technology has positively impacted student learning outcomes. This case study describes the story of how one school district responded to this challenge.
