Part Two
Goal: To improve the use of technology to enhance the efficiency of learning and to provide technological knowledge and skills to students.

Instructional Facilitators: Will provide training in AWARE, which is a database that has all assessment information on all students enrolled in the school. This will allow teachers to assess which areas and objectives that they need to focus on.

Billye Turner: Will provide training on web pages and teach the teachers how to use these to enhance learning in the classroom. Make them interactive and allow students to input and use their technology skills to be successful.

Teachers will also be trained in blogs and how to create, use and implement them in the classroom.

Kari Rhame: Will provide Intel training for all teachers and allow them to learn different techniques for using technology in the classroom. By taking this training teachers also receive 5 student computers for their classroom use.

Rita Miller: Will train teachers on and set up the CPS (classroom performance systems) for classroom use. Teachers can use these systems to help enhance instruction for optimal understanding.
