TQ #3

TQ #3

For you TQ#3, briefly describe (two paragraphs or so) what you learned from completing Part 1 of the Technology Plan. Each person's response will be different (this is an individual (not a group) assignment. Read and comment on your teammates' entries.

Response

Helping write part 1 of the Technology Plan was a familiar experience. As the person responsible for overseeing CSD's current plan, which is the district our project is based on, I have already completed this process just a short time ago. Ever feel like you've been there before? As I discussed in class, our existing plan is written in a manner to comply with state regulations. I don't see it as a functional plan that is very useful to me or the technology staff.

With this project, I think our team can start to build the plan I would like to have. Initially, I found myself editing much of what was written only to discard it and make relatively minor changes. From what I have seen already, I think our group will come up with a good plan without me steering it to where I have already gone. I am curious to see where we end up when this class is finished and how close it will match the current path of the district.

Like I said in my post, and to Reiterate Michelle, your guidance is key for us to see the big picture of this class and of being in this educational program

I think that our technology plan will be better than the one in place for CSD..LOL. I like the fact that we are working with real data in order to have a better understanding of what the technology plan incorporates. Your input is well taken since you are the expert in this field. I also like the subjectivity you have with our plan. I am curious to get your reaction to our plan and the one written for your school district.
