My technology goal for the 14-15 school year is twofold. First, I would like to work with my staff to utilize district resources already available to them to increase parent, student, and industry communication. The primary tool for this is moodle. Currently, only one of my eleven staff use moodle. My goals is to have half of my staff consistently use moodle to accept student work, share examples, create a class dialogue, and to share practice assessments. It is also an effective means to list daily assignments. Parents and students would be able to log in and see the work of the day themselves. It is also a self-advocacy piece for students.
My personal technology goals is to meet with my Director and see how we can use our facebook account to build our brand in a more effective way. I'm not sure what kind of angle to take to encourage more students, alumni, parents, and industry partners to "like" our page. More importantly is to set up a culture of students sharing pictures, events, and important connections they have made on our facebook page as a kind of personal narrative. There is a lot of potential here. Like a wise man once told me, "someone is going to tell your story, it might as well be you".
Interesting idea to get on board with FB. I'm interested in incorporating this idea with my school, too.
