Abstract

This paper outlines a framework for transforming technology integration within a public school system from isolated success stories to a district-wide movement. This is accomplished in two phases: 1) A district staff development day based on the SITE conference model is used to expose educators to available resources and possibilities for curriculum and technology integration. 2) This day is followed by a yearlong focus on professional development and curriculum support utilizing online, interactive tools. Central to the entire process is encouraging educators to become leaders in their own development by taking advantage of online resources that encourage mentoring and collaboration.
