2.  This is why we chose this goal:

• To assist every student in crossing the digital divide.
•  Foster critical thinking skills.
• Support learning activities that could not otherwise be accomplished without technology.
• To encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher training and curriculum development.

3.  These are the strategies we will use to reach our goals:
COACHING
Success in this initiative requires meeting and communicating with your coach regularly to develop and implement an integration plan for your classroom.

ESTABLISH STUDENT LEARNING STATION(S)
Throughout the school year develop, utilize, and maintain eMac (and other computers in your room) as student learning station(s), connecting learning station activities with academic standards and established instructional goals. SLS activities will be designed with these guiding questions in mind:

1. What will students learn as a result of completing your SLS activity?
2. What will students produce in the activity?
3. How will you assess learning?

DEVELOP AND DELIVER PRESENTATION STATION ACTIVITIES
Utilize presentation station activities within academic standards and established instructional goals from content areas and programs such as the following. Reader's Workshop Writer's Workshop, Math, Social Studies and Science.

PROJECT REFLECTION:
Please provide feedback regarding the Integration Initiative and your integration efforts. What worked? What did not? How could you improve the Initiative and your efforts?
