Welcome! Thank you for joining my wiki! I look forward to discussing technology use in the classroom with you !

After reading the following please got to the Timeline and Agenda page. This wiki was created by Meredith Wright, 4th grade teacher, from Fisher Elementary to discuss increasing the fluent use of technology into the 4th grade classroom. Invited guests include the 4th Grade team at Fisher Elementary. According the the [|Texas Long Range Plan for Technology], 2006-2020 we are headed in the right direction. But, how can we //seemlessly// incorporate technology into the curriculum in which we teach? In the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology each district and campus is rated on 4 key areas: Teaching and Learning;Educator Preparation and Development; Leadership, Administration, & Instructional Support;Infrastructure for Technology. Each year we complete a [|STaR chart]for our campus.For the 2007-2008 school year were rated on each key target area. We were rated Advanced Tech in 3 key areas: Teaching and Learning; Leadership Admin., Instructional Support; Infrastructure for Technology. We were rated Developing Tech for Education Preparation and Development. What is interesting is we moved down a level from the previous year in Education Preparation and Development. I'm curious, //Why do you think this is? Shouldn't this be a key area of growth?//
