Technology+Planning

__Activity 1__
==In the Broward County Public Schools 2010-2013 District Education Technology Plan, a committee develops goals to make sure the plan is accomplished. The main participants in the planning process consists of stakeholders, teachers, parents, school and district administrators. The mission of the committee is to make sure that teachers are equipped with the necessary tools and that administrators be informed to lead their staff and students. I have not been involved in the planning process. However, I believe that if more teachers understood and comprehended all that was involved in the planning process they would be more committed to see that the plan was executed.==

__Activity 2__
==Somerset Academy is a Charter School that follows the Broward County district plan. Planning technology within our school is done amongst our administrators, teachers, parents, and the IT department. According to our School Improvement Plan for the 2010-2011 school year, we have acquired resources to allow teachers to instruct using interactive teaching methods. Somerset Academy is very involved with the teachers and parents to make the school a better learning environment. The administrators are always willing to consider the needs of the staff. I feel that more teachers need to get involved in the technology aspect of our school. If all teachers understand the importance of using technology in the classroom it will help to assist the students learn and grow in this rapid change.==
