Tech Plan Revision

Milan's Technology Plan has to be revised and submitted to the WISD for review by May 2012.  The Tech Plan is a curriculum driven vision of how we plan to use technology to support learning.  It should really be used as a guide, one that is completely aligned with our District's Improvement Plan, which is also aligned to the curriculum and our district's Vision, Mission, and Goals.  A committee has been formed.  We have many stakeholders coming to the table this evening.  We do still need a High School or Middle School student and a representative from the High School to join.  Let the fun begin!

Milan's Classroom Technology & Innovative Teachers

Check out what Nicole Gerbens is doing with her 1st grade class at Paddock:  http://youtu.be/lvCiCEfppMQ  The topic was Digital Story Telling.  She was using her interactive whiteboard, her webcam, and was Skyping to collaborate with another class in another district.

Greetings,

My goal is to post entries here to keep all district stakeholders update-to-date with the state of technology within the Milan Area School district. 

Milan has been blessed by our community with a bond that put technology in every inch of this district, most importantly, in the hands of the students.  I will try and keep you apprised of our newly acquired technologies used within the district as well as spotlighting innovative uses of that technology.

It’s easy to get caught up with keeping our many systems and our vast amount of equipment up and running but we know why we do what we do.  The Milan Technology Department is committed to supporting the educational efforts of our dedicated staff and our amazing students.  We are committed to student success by any means possible.
