GapAnalysis

- Time - Clear Expectations for Staff (Having a checklist would help.) - Sharing of Staff (Windsor’s Tech Facilitator) - Having staff with experience and knowledge to be able to effectively help teachers to bridge the gap between ideas and implementation (i.e. Tech Facilitator at Windsor) - Follow up of Tech Academy classes during the year (after school)
 * Professional Development**

__- Provide more resources/training that teachers can do at their leisure__ • Having On Demand Videos to provide training-Have quiz at the end, which teachers can take and receive CPDUs (Talk to Africa about her experience with Assistive Technology Videos-infinitech) • Provide Online Training/Webinars with the expectation that staff complete 3 a year (i.e. Atomic Learning) • “I Show You” –This came up in our discussion, but none of us was clear on what it was, but we discussed having the software to allow for the creation of demonstration videos. (Karin has downloaded 'IShowU' - it does allow you to make videos similar to the type you find on Atomic Learning. It is shareware - $20.00.) • Creating more of the types of techtorials/slideshows/video demonstration available on the Windsor website. • Maintain a District webpage where staff can download current directions/user guides for technology (put one person in charge of keeping it up-to-date).

- Having live broadcasts of district presentations on the web (Everything that is on the Cable channel available for people living outside of Arlington Heights): • School Board Meetings • Assessment Meetings-Some staff would like to hear/view presentations, but are unable to be there • Parent U Meetings • Meetings held at specific buildings that may be relevant for parents from other buildings • Curriculum Nights for Parents (Reading, etc.)

- Delivery system, storage, backup for videos - Collaboration opportunities with others outside the school community such as home school, seniors, library - Communication mechanism from school to all community - not just parents - Offer PC training - Information about District 25 from village website, reach out to realtors - Lack of district facility to produce professional video programs for cable viewing/cable audience - Lack of building facility to broadcast daily or weekly in-house programs - Need more sophisticated presentation hardware (microphones, speakers, projector) for community programs - Need additional staff to produce and maintain quality productions - Need improved equipment (video editing...) - Need to strengthen a closer working relationship with other community entities such as Harper College, Teen Center, realtors, park district, library - Need XX equipment for posting video programs on the Internet - Need color copier - for brochures etc. - Something about staff Web pages - keeping them current - Broadcast district presentations and board meetings on cable and internet
 * Community Involvement**

- Teacher access to laptops - 1 to 1, K-8 - More rigorous Wi-Fi throughout buildings - Keyboarding - universally available, adequate - Student access - lab time or portability, **flexibility** of a 2nd computer - Differentiation - technology able to meet student needs - Engagement in learning - more visuals, primary response tools for some students - Software - availability, upgrading of hardware makes some software obsolete - Transportability of student work across home/school and ability to continue working on complex projects over time - Availability of a poster printer (one per building or one for district?), would allow for professional anchor charts for classrooms - Smart Board technology in all classrooms (makes presentations easy to record and share online) - Media Room / Studio: morning announcements and creating professional development videos to share online and via cable
 * Curriculum and Instruction**

-Central Purchasing of Hardware and Software District purchases software and holds licenses -District inventory of equipment/asset management, etc -Schools can roll over budget -Pooling of funds- done now for software but could be used of hardware -Instead of purchasing equipment do a lease of equipment, etc. -Equipment cycles needs to be accelerated? -Personnel to deploy technology- need more staff -Infrastructure- power requirements, space, HVAC for cooling -Laptops for staff and students -Printers eliminate all inkjets- limit printing- document management-training- edocs -Storage needs- growing in buildings -Backing up all the data in the district -Alternatives to laptops and desktops -Keeping up with current tech- exploring emerging technologies -Security of networks -Wireless -Communication for traveling staff - Eliminate hard copy of Friday Packets and post everything online - District Laptops for MAP testing to allow the LMC and computer lab to remain open throughout the testing time
