Analyze Data

Use survey results/curriculum map to look for entry points for authentic tech integration opportunities

1st year: plan for 1 new collaborative episode/event/unit per grade level

Add successive ones in subsequent yearsFor reluctant technology integrators (the original RTI),

sneak them a list of websites to go with a unit you know they’re working on… or other baby steps.

Collaboration Entry Points:Based on surveys, begin to contact teachers regarding

collaboration early in the yearWhat skills do I have that can supplement the classroom

teacher?Does he/she have a tech project to include?Do I have ideas to integrate tech for

that particular unit?What’s on the web to help us?WWJVD?
