Amanda+Johnson+Action+Plan

**1. ****Action steps: What will be done? What are your ideas for development of one of the technologies into your educational setting for use on a regular basis. Make sure to address which technology you would use. How will you plan on using it. How will it be an effective tool and in what ways.**  · I really liked the idea of using Facebook as an online education tool. I don’t have a classroom of my own, but I know several friends who are high school teachers and I shared with them using this aspect and they thought it was very cool way to incorporate technology into the classroom. Using Facebook can apply to any subject and almost every high school student has a Facebook already so the ease of using it would be incredible. **2. Responsibilities: Who will use it? Who will create it? Who will modify and monitor it? **  · The teacher would be the main administrator of the group, creating the account and adding the students to the page. The teacher will go on everyday and post certain assignments or even extra credit problems that the students can choose to do. **3. Timeline: By when? How long will it be in use? **  · The teacher would probably introduce the concept of his/her idea to the students during the first week of school. The teacher could show them the group and how to navigate, post, and respond to posts. Ideally, it would be used the whole year, but it students are not taking it seriously or there seems to be no learning going on the teacher will end it after a trial period. **4. Resources: What resources will you need. Do you need to create a new tool? Account? Access? Permissions? **  · <span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">The teacher will need access to the computers and an internet connection. The teacher will have to make sure that the group is a closed group so only the students in the class can see the group and navigate around it. The teacher can help a student create an account if they do not have one already. The teacher will also have to get permission for the site to be available to the students when the class is working on it. The teacher would also have to get it approved by the principal and send a note home to the parents asking for permission. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">**<span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">5. Potential Barriers or possible resistance: Is there anyone who will object? ** <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">The only barrier that I can see arising is that students not being able to have access to a computer at home. To fix this, I will give them time before or after the school day to access the account. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">**<span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">6. Communication Plan: Who is involved? How will you introduce it to those using it or viewing it. ** <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">The teacher and students will be involved in the coursework. The principal is able at any time to view what is going on. As stated earlier, I will give a run down on the first week to the students on how to use it and what I expect will happen from using it. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">**<span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">7. Evidence of Success: How will you know that your technology integration is successful? ** <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">I will know that it is successful if I get regular posts by the students and if their posts are in depth and relevant to what we are talking about. There will be a rubric stating what a post should have in it and how long a post should be. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">**<span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">8. Evaluation Process: How will you determine your goal has been reached? ** <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 4.8pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="color: #003300; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">I will ask for written and verbal feedback from my students. If I feel they are not into it or they are not making serious effort, I will talk to them and ask what I can do to make it a more enjoyable experience and take their ideas and suggestions.
