Once you have crafted a common
vision, this team can perform a needs
assessment. Do you need to reallocate
or obtain more hardware resources
for classrooms? Do your teachers need
training in transforming 21st century
technology integration? Do you need to
explore the array of web 2.0 resources
to determine which are best suited for
your educational environment? One
need that is often overlooked is the support
of a designated person, perhaps
a technology integration specialist or
coach, to assist teachers as they implement
technology uses in their classrooms.
The team can then analyze this
information to create a unique plan
to address the needs identifi ed in the
assessment.
