Mary Andrade Cranston West Physical Education and Health Grades 9-12 marypeteacher@cox.net Deliverable #3 EDC922  __Technology Proposal:__  **Proposal**: The technology that will be implemented is using a wiki in the classroom. The Districts Technology Plans, Mission Statement states: “In order to prepare our students for the future world, a world of constant changes, we must provide technology rich learning environments in which our investment in technology training is equal to our students’ educational needs supports our curriculum and prepares our students to be knowledgeable and productive user of technology.” [|[i]]  **Purpose**: To create a technology rich learning environment, the students will be introduced a health unit on using the internet as the digital textbook. The core goals of this health unit will be students to take a body of knowledge or content, include factual information, problem solving issues associated for teens, communicate effective goals and solutions, and demonstrate the ability for responsible behavior to apply knowledge effectively to the wiki. A wiki is a collaborative based website that the instructor and students will be able to create, document, and modify as information continues to be learned. The students will be able to share this with other students within their class and grade, and parents administrators and community. The students will submit information to be added to the wiki and the classroom teacher will have the ability to submit or delete information to this website. The intended program to be used is called [|Wikispaces], currently it provides free site for educators. For more information on how a wiki works the following link will give five short tutorials on navigating through a wiki, []. **Technology**: This technology would be useful at our school in the following ways: It provides collaboration between students. The students will incorporate the Rhode Island Health Standards [|[ii]] for given lesson and use video, media, and educational resources to develop the site. Here is an example of a class wiki for geography it gives a good example of technology in the classroom, http://mcgonaglecleary.wikispaces.com/ , **Implementing:** Possible roadblocks to implementing this technology: Network filters not allowing program to run on multiple computers. Appropriate number of computers for classroom use, currently one computer per classroom, the school’s computer lab can accommodate a full class. Students can also access from private computer. Wikispaces is a free website, in the future, if the technology is acceptable there are alternative plans that can be looked at for a yearly price. For more information go to Wikispaces [|pricing] options at []. Solutions: The students will follow the [|Cranston School District’s Acceptable Use Policy] : A specific consent form will explain student expectations on appropriate use of adding information to the wiki page.  ** Future: ** The long-term use of using a wiki is to integrate the existing curriculum and technology to a digital format. Following the district expectations and technology goals, the classroom becomes “alive” and students can become active learners in the educational process where media and factual information continues to change. ** Cranston West Health Class, Student & Parent User Agreement Contract **  = // Students are required to read through  //[|Cranston West Technology Acceptable Use Policy:] //  (This should be signed at the beginning of the school year.) In addition this contract needs to be read and signed by both student and parent to gain access to the class wiki. // =   The members of the health class at Cranston High School West will be participating in a class wiki for the purposes of sharing learning with one another as well as with our friends, parents, and the local community.  * Curriculum topics and provide factual information. * Creating written projects/ media projects on health topic. * Encouraging process writing * Creating FAQ pages on curriculum topics and resources and services available. * Posting current event articles, videos, and other media, you’ve reviewed and want to share Students will not post any private messages or inappropriate language on the wiki.
