Findings Coming Soon!




First, I was able to send out surveys to faculty and staff finding out about current perspectives toward campus technology programs and student needs.  Faculty and staff were very helpful. This helped me get a great start.

Survey Questions
How do you feel about the use of technology and the growth of technology in our society?
What current technology programs are you using in your classroom?
What types of technology would you like to see used in your school in the future?
Do you believe technology helps increase student performance? If so, how have you witnessed it?
What is an approximate percentage of students who are economically disadvantaged in your individual classroom?
How many students in your room have access to the internet at home?
How easily accessible is technology in your school?

The next phase was the research phase. During this phase, I did a lot of interviews and researching information/pulling data.  I was able to interview the curriculum coordinator, parental involvement coordinator, assistant principal, interim principal, counselor, librarian, president of the PTA, and many more. I found that as you start talking to more and more people then someone always has a small piece to add. I also found out how to pull local community information and campus online data in relation to demographics. I was able to research various partnerships with the district as well as many technology resources and programs to share with faculty and staff. I researched the benefits of technology for economically disadvantaged students and put this information together in one general report. The final part of this project is presenting the information to faculty, staff, and other stakeholders.
