Lecture- Administration

Technology uses:
memos, letters reports budgets
make sure students meet standards

1. lesson plans
meet all standards
track lessons for next time
revise --> improve
submit lesson plans
graphing assessment
tools: curriki- includes lesson plans with videos

2. Learning management systems
HotChalk- similar to oncourse, lessons, assignments
Moodle- discussion boards, resources, quizzes
IQuity

3. Data driven decisions
Information to improve teaching
NCLB- data required on every student
hard data provides objective view on how/what to improve

Technological devices:
PDA to track students with emergency info, behavior reports, grades, photos, etc
Electronic Gradebook
Student IDs
Skills based report cards
MyGradebook

--Side Notes--

I find it freaky that a teacher could have an exobident amount of information about any student at the end of his/her fingertips. I also think that the PDA just sets teachers up to profile kids and not actually get to know them. 1984! BIG BROTHER
