For the teachers who have access to technology there are different ways to present and share information, accessing data, student participation. Much work may still be teacher directed due to a lack of technology in the students' hands. Shared resources: Walk down the hall, email small files, shared network folders. It needs to be easy, fast and accessible 24/7 from anywhere. Notes from Admin and Management Teachers and admin need one time and place to data entry and retrieval. Information systems for the student and teacher that are friendly and lead into a portfolio type environment that follows the student. Parents, future teachers, past teachers should have access to portfolio. ||  ||

 * We don't have consistent classroom technology to support everyday tech use therefore teachers can't develop lessons that depend on tech use. Schools differ, classrooms differ, and there is not a standard kit. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Current tech use substitutes for old techniques such as using a doc camera as an overhead. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * The internet is being used as a resource, YouTube, TeacherTube. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 20-25% of teachers are using tech on a somewhat regular basis. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * We don't know the learning gains due to technology.
 * Electronic planning**: not much.
 * Grading** is not done electronically except in a few programs that are software based interventions. A few teachers use some tools like Easy, SchoolWorld, Moodle, Examview but not many.
 * Lesson Delivery** is once again at the mercy of available technology. Lessons are delivered by projectors, doc cameras, discovery ed, wiki's.
 * Collaboration** happens locally in PLC's, but not much outside of an elementary school or secondary department.
 * ROI** - no clue since we don't even know what technology exists where ||  ||   ||   ||
 * **Improved communication**- Cut down on live meetings by using technology for purely informational purposes. Record meetings for web broadcast later. Parents and students should have the same access to information and resources. Information should be presented in multiple ways. Increase options for incoming information and community feedback. Make teacher to teacher communication easily accessible. Increase community connections for better access to expertise and communications. ||  ||
 * **Reduced workload -** Share resources available 24/7 from anywhere, for instance district wide such as lesson plans, meaningful tools, lesson resources, learning objects. Share with other districts, states and countries. ||  ||
 * **Reporting -** Align reporting tools so there is a parent portal for their access to all pertinent data.
 * **Electronic portfolios** - accessible 24/7 from anywhere with appropriate permissions. Authentic projects with peer assessments and community/expert review. ||  ||
 * **Paperless environments** -need accessibility from home, lots of cyber storage, templates, online forms, electronic signatures. Much better testing system and access to the hardware necessary for a class. One year goal to cut paper consumption by 25%. 25% each year and we will be paperless in 4 years. Are we talking textbooks too? ||  ||
