Instructional Technology Planning Course
ITI Technology Planning Course
This course supports school Instructional Leadership Teams in developing an informed, effective plan for instructional technology integration that is tailored to each school's needs. Collaborative work throughout the modules will lead to:
- Completion of a School Instructional Technology Plan, which will become an addendum to the Single Plan for Student Achievement
Structure
The seven modules in the course each require about two hours, with homework in between. We suggest that team members complete the readings in advance, to maximize collaborative time when you meet. Each module focuses on an essential element of effective technology integration planning. The navigation bar on the right side of the page allows you to easily browse the modules to prepare. They are offered in a sequence that makes sense to the Instructional Technology Initiative (ITI) team, but may be complete in the order that works best for your team.
Each module page on this website has a link to a slide deck that will guide your team through the module, and a list of activities that we suggest are completed in advance of your team's meeting for that module. The module page also summarizes key elements of the slide deck:
- Work to Complete Before Session so that members can make the most of their time together
- Guiding Questions that focus discussion as your team moves through the module
- Learning Experiences (video clips, articles, and activities) that inform discussions and help shape your plan.
- Module Outcomes that include completion of the appropriate questions in the School Instructional Plan and additions to the showcase project that will represent your plan.
- Beyond section describes additional resources and activities you may want to explore beyond the module
Each schools is at a different place in its integration of technology to empower students and teachers in enhancing teaching and learning. The activities in this cohort can be modified to support a school's growth, wherever it is on continuum, so that the instructional technology plan meets the needs of the school.
