Review and Evaluate the Technology Plan

Teachers at Avoca School District #37 in Wilmette, Illinois, were invited to review and refine the technology plan during the summer of 1995:

"AVOCA TECHNOLOGY PLANNING
SUMMER PROJECT - 1995

You are invited to become part of the Avoca Technology Leadership Team !!

This group will meet over the summer (for the two curriculum days required). Our tasks will be to review Avoca's three-year technology integration plan, to develop goals for the next three years, and to begin work on a Scope and Sequence of technology-related skills for our students.

We would like to have a wide representation of grade levels and subject areas. Anyone is welcome!! We will schedule our work time during the two weeks after school is out, and based upon availability of participants during those days.

Review Avoca's three-year plan.
