Action Planning Template
Goal: Due to a lack of technology in students’ homes, the unavailability of the computer lab and an insufficient amount of technology in the classrooms, how can our school meet the district’s expectation of 21st Century learning and provide our students with more exposure to Web 2.0 learning? What kind of training will our staff need to successfully integrate technology?
