The School Evaluation Summary assignment required students to synthesize their school’s technology environment. To do this we used Sibley and Kimball’s Technology Use Plan Primer to analyze the technological maturity of our school. In the Maturity Model Benchmarks table, there are four stages: Emergent, Islands, Integrated, and Intelligent. Prior to this survey, I had not thought too much about the different levels schools could be at with their technology. This survey made me realize the need for an excellent technology plan for school districts. It showed a digital inequality among departments within our school district. Lastly, it exposed technology gaps within out district. By exposing these issues, school districts can strengthen their technologies.

Julia,
It looks like you put a lot of time into this. Your summary and spreadsheet appear well thought out. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you embed the documents into the post and not just hyperlink. It only takes a few minutes to make the change. If you need help doing this, feel free to shoot me an email and I will send you instructions (it took me a bit to figure it out too).

Hi Julia,
I’m amazed at some of the material in your report, but for me, one of my biggest eye-openers in this course was our project on digital divide / digital inequality. A $10K tech budget and a single person for tech support and admin. How difficult that must be for you and your students? Very nice analysis. Thanks.
