Introduction
A Technology Proposal for my Science Classroom at L.V. Rogers High School in
Nelson, B.C..
Intended Audience: L.V. Roger's High School's administration.
School Motto: “We will be the change we want to see”.
School Goal: “To improve upon the academic success of all learners, in order to
provide them with the best possible opportunity for achieving their goals.”
School Objective: “To utilize technology to improve engagement”.
Committee Vision: “To utilize technology to improve engagement.”
Introduction Cont'd
School Mission: “Encourage each student to achieve excellence and develop
individual potential.”
School Needs: " To be able to provide our 21st Century learners with the tools they
need to learn in today's modern world."
School Priorities: "The student's needs comes first."
Solutions:
The greatest challenge in fulfilling the "wish list" for the my classroom and all
other teachers in the school is to have the money to be able to buy the costly materials,
equipment, etc. Given that we are in a recession and the budget is continually being
cutback the challenge is to find money else where in the form of grants, etc.
How will we use technology to achieve our goals and complete our
mission?
We will attempt to become "state of the art" so that students can be current,
be engaged and be global learners.
Introduction Cont'd
Using the Technology Maturity Model Benchmark evaluation tool (EDmin, 2009)
from a recent assignment, I determined that L.V Rogers High School is in the Islands
stage of technology use (Kelly, 2009). Looking at the chart below, notice that the school
still has a great deal of maturing to do to grow out of the first Emergent stage, to the
second Islands stage, then to the third Integrated stage, and finally to the final
Intelligent stage.
(Kelly, 2009)
"Students will use engaging
technologies in collaborative, inquiry-
based learning environments with
teachers who are willing and able to
use technology's power to assist them
in transforming knowledge and skills
into producing solutions, and new
information." (Nesbitt, B. J. , 2007)
Vision
To:
• engage students (learner-centered learning).
• offer students the means to be successful in a
global society, to graduate and get future jobs.
• guarantee students the opportunity to use
technology as a tool to learn by doing, to
improve communication, enhance thinking
skills, create, analyze, evaluate, apply, make
instruction more efficient and effective, and
develop life skills critical to success.
• integrate technology into all the curricular
areas.
Technology
My Classroom Goals:
To be a life-long learner and to promote life-long learning.
To continue to grow and evolve as new and useful
technology tools become available.
To take advantage of training and tech support.
To align the technology in my class with education
standards elsewhere.
To increase the computer/technology abilities of myself as
a facilitator and of students.
The newly acquired technology that I get in my class will help me to
better achieve my educational goals and realize my vision.

What Needs Maintenance or Upgrade
• in My Classroom:
1 - 8 year old computer projector (the bulb alone is very
expensive to replace)
1 - t.v. with v.c.r. player (the v.c.r. is almost obsolete)
How Our School Currently Maintains Technology
if it is old, we replace it.
if it can be fixed, we put in a work order and wait a long
time for a technician to fix it.

Comparison Of What I Have Now With What I Want
In comparing what I have now, with what I want, I would have to say that I would do a
much better job of teaching 21st Century Learners, with 21st Century Equipment. But,
having said that, keep in mind that there are many ways to be engaged and to partake in
learner-centered learning. (look at the photos that I have presented) The tools of
technology will help me reach my goals and attain my vision more effectively, and I will
also be more engaged as a facilitator.
Alternate sources of funding
–CBT grant for community development.
–Telus grant.
–Corporate sponsorship for equipment.

Summary
In this Technology Proposal for my classroom, I have made a case for needing to
have some technology tools in my class to prepare myself better for the 21st Century
Learner.
Once this plan has been formalized, then the remaining steps in the plan will be
followed:
5. Implement
6. Evaluate
7. Revise
It will be and need to be checked continuously (Love, 1996).
