=**Components Considered for Crafting the Vision** =
 * OJR Diigo account to promote community of bookmarked resources
 * model and promote effective use of technology- peer observation, peer learning walks, district grade level teams
 * Examples of what rigorous, relevant and engaging education Peer Learning Walks- opportunity []
 * Collect data (google form) and share out what was seen through a forum(not a Ning yet)
 * Build community continuum- Diigo, grade level groups team meeting cross district- Skype, NING, to access knowledge and resources( Speak UP 2007 Data Collection with Visionary Adminstrators and Parents Survey- link within OJR Diigo)
 * Top Down Capacity of Change and Risk Taking- presenting risk taking with adminstrators to build that capacity

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">peer walk through
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">power user group created
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">peer sharing- trickle down
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">screencast (library of tutorials for support and demonstrations)
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">timing
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">show and tell sessions with follow-up training/support from technology professionals (Bishop, Tobin)
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Develop a Power User group- possible application process with something provided in return (money, hardware, duty time)
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Side note.... Social Studies - notion of online textbooks "electronic text/resource" access for all students in lieu of physical texts... WV principal...
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Need to engage all stakeholders. Power users determine how 21st CEntury skills get played out using tools within the context of what they are teaching. This then develops the library of resources and links which connects with the curriculum. Then moves to the next level year to year.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Remain transparent in everything we do.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Justification for technology integration: Bloom's taxonomy higher levels of thinking and learning.

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">When do teachers have the time to collaborate in order to make connections between subject areas?
 * **HIGH SCHOOL** Look like university courses: Online courses, online syllabus, learning would look different - not just what happens in class to now be online. It should allow kids to take their learning further than it would normally be able to do in the regular classroom. Collaboration with other schools, experts, etc. Connections to what they are looking to study in college and do with their life - passion based learning and be able to have connections to support this. Podcasts, webinars, etc to share content - not singularly teacher given. Creativity in their learning/sharing of their learning. Technology has allowed students to be producers, consumers, creators. Students can produce solutions to problems.
 * Technology enables students to go beyond the basics of learning, but instead allows us to take the basic information and use that as a basis for higher-level thinking/activities.
 * Students have equal access to technology.
 * Students could bring their laptops and be able to tap into the district wireless connection.
