• Teachers will explore websites containing important information about Internet safety, Netiquette, cyberbullying, and how to care for computers (used for information gathering).

Target Participants

• Staff

Challenges or Obstacles

•Funding

•Finding a day that works to implement this initiative.

•Will teachers get paid?

•Will teachers get credit toward lane changes or receive CEUs?

•How do I ensure every teacher passes on this important information to his or her students?

•Getting parent support to sign technology permission forms.

Initial Steps to Implement Plan

•Find a trained expert on Internet Safety.

•Choose day to do technology integration initiative.

•Teachers will go through PowerPoint with instructor and reflect on how to implement what they have learned in each section.

•Teachers will share information with students at beginning of school year.

Long Range Plans to Continue or Revise the Plan
