Building Level Planning

North Platte Public Schools have been involved in revolutionizing technology use throughout the district for the past few years.  To further that process, each building will develop a building level plan based on the following framework.  

It is important to remember that we are looking at an overall picture of what we want students to be able to do and to not get caught up in the minute details.  This is a BIG PICTURE plan.

Tech Framework

A building level technology framework should start with the following procedures:

  • Begin with a Student Centered Vision
  • Review current curriculum
  • Identify products, in general, overall terms, that students can produce within the current curriculum
  • List products, in general terms, we want students to digitally create to show what they know
  • Identify and match products with ISTE NETS
  • Identify digital devices and software that we currently have and determine new devices and software needed for students to produce products
  • List digital devices and software needed to enable students in creating their products
  • Identify professional development needed to utilize digital devices and software
  • Develop showcase systems and designate plans to share student created products and projects
  • Develop a four year deployment of digital devices and software

Things to Ask Yourself and to Consider

Ask Yourself:

  • What overall curriculum do I teach?
  • What general products can my students create to show what they know?
  • What resources do my students need?
Considerations:
  • Portability
  • Assistive Technology
  • Associated demands...
  • System Requirements
  • Logistics/Deployment (When, Where, How)
  • Professional Development
