Research Questions __** 22. Gather, filter, and distill applicable technology plans from other school districts to see what may be a good fit for what we need to happen. Less interested in format/presentation but more interested in the content. 40. How are other school districts implementing their technology curriculum? Is technology embedded across the curriculum or are technology skills taught in isolation? 42. Do other districts have a specific computer class at the elementary level? If so, what types of things are being taught and who is teaching it? 43. How is technology being used in other districts as an integrated part of the educational program (not during computer class)? 44. With regard to technology, what types of training/support is in place for teachers in other districts? 13. What level of proficiency in computer use do our graduating students have? 41. Are students in other districts held accountable for learning technology skills? Are they given some sort of assessment? 28. How do we validate that our action plans made/make a difference? Is there some sort of educational standard that has been established to uniformly measure progress either at the organizational or student level? 34. How colleges and high schools deploy advanced technology as tools to enable learning and access content **__ Summary of Findings __** __ http://www.chelmsford.k12.ma.us/administration//technology/index.htm __  Other Sources: __ http://www.flvs.net/Pages/default.aspx __ __ http://www.ed.gov/programs/edtech []
