Assignment (see Appendix G) || Create an action plan for the campus. Develop an agenda for a professional development day that addresses the targeted campus needs and include a timeline for follow-up professional development. || Reflection/Learning: Focus reflection on the Technology Facilitator Standards and Performance Indicators. Use textbook references as well as two additional references. ( Minimum of 250 Words ) || While doing this activity I found Standards VII and VIII were directly connected to this activity. According to Williamson and Redish (2009), Standard VII deals with the budget and making sure the technology gets where it will be most effective and everyone knows how to use it. Standard VIII deals with Leadership and Vision, this professional development is going to need the entire campus to buy in to effect any real change. That means the leadership needs to be on board and helping with the process and through this action plan I believe they will because it is about maximizing student learning.

According to McTighe (2008), “Action research empowers faculties to identify problems and shape solutions” (p. 6). To make sure we are on the right path we need to be looking at the data and researching what works and what does not and this will help us reach our goal of exemplary. Follow-up is very important to make sure any professional development and action plans are working effectively. If there is no follow-up how will we know if it is actually working, follow-up is the key for success. I created this plan and I will make sure it is working and effective by monitoring and observing. This will allow me to have another way to see if the plan is working.

Collaboration is also going to play a big role in making this action plan work. According to Fridell (2006), on collaboration being the way to get the most support from all over the campus. Once you have this support shaping the culture, practices, and policies will come easy to the campus and effect the most change. For the action plan and the follow-up plan to be successful I believe collaboration with all will be important.
