...EDU 225 Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan My mission is to incorporate technology strategies in the classroom as much as possible, while following the guidelines set out by the state curriculum. My vision is to create a classroom/environment where all students are excited and anxious to learn and that students be able to show what they have learned at the end of each lesson. As technology continues to grow, there will be more and more of a need and demand for technology use in the classroom. When using computer technology in the classroom, one must find the course of action to correctly guide lessons for the curriculum so that students can reach their optimum goals. Ultimately to mark how each student is doing in the classroom we must locate software for formative and summative assessments. After all, a teacher’s ultimate goal to be able to teach our students and also be able to document what those students have learned. In that light one, the teacher must look a number of things, how can technology assist in efforts to assess student learning? What are formative assessment and summative assessment and how do they compare and differ? What are the pluses and minuses of using technology in the classroom? Should only technology be used in assessing learning? These are the questions that teachers seek to answer and justify. First, let us explore assessments in the classroom. Why is assessment necessary? What are formative and summative assessments...

The project that the department will be undertaking will be to develop and manufacture larger touring class motorcycles. The department that will be in charge of implementing this project will be semi-autonomous. It will have the ability to make small purchases and payments as well as produce its own reports, separate from the parent company.

...Parents should send their children to a good school and it should be of their choice. It would be great to see much of the Charter schools funding come within the school. I believe a plan in place from their parents would be a great choice other than the government. Some money for our children's education should be within the school. I feel that with many Charter schools in the United States, the schools should have a plan in place. Since 1992 when the first Charter school opened its doors in St. Paul, Minnesota, more than 4,500 Charter schools have launched throughout the United States. (ehow.com) Charter schools funding should come from another source other than the government. (ehow.com)How would the schools get there funding? As most parents we need to pull together for the school and have a plan so that the parents of the enrolled children give to the school. What other sources are there for money for these schools. Children who are enrolled should be allowed to have fundraisers which could allow parts of the funding for the school. Do we really need the Charter schools to get funding from the government? Parents of these children in Charter schools should pull together to find a way to fund our children for their education. Parents who have chosen this particular school should have a plan in place so that the funds do not come from ones whose taxes are part of the funds from the government who pays in poor and middle class families. NEA believes that Charter schools and...

...The best way to increase student learning is to use assessment to guide instruction. Comprehensive Assessment Plans (CAPs) are designed to do just that. They are used to assess the school’s or district’s curriculum and instruction, the focus on assessment today and the ramifications if students do not score high enough influence curriculum and instruction in a negative manner. Teachers begin to take shortcuts and focus teaching on what will be on the annual state assessment; this can create some large gaps in a student’s educational foundation. A CAP is focused on increasing student learning and how the school can make the goal a reality. The ideal CAP would focus on increasing student learning and improving teacher practice. This plan needs to be designed to meet the needs of all stakeholders and users from the classroom to the boardroom (Chappuis, Commodore & Stiggins, 2010). Appropriate professional development and training must be made available to teachers. If the teachers are not confident in giving, creating or analyzing assessment results they will not be able to increase student learning. Understanding the difference between assessment of and for learning is paramount (Chappuis, Commodore & Stiggins, 2010). The Cap helps schools create an environment that promotes learning. It also shows should be done if students are not meeting these...
