I like the idea of a technology vision statement and took a crack a writing one myself. Check it out on my blog http://maineideasineducation.blogspot.com

I’m hungry for any suggestions or input. It’s a work in progress as is life I guess.

This is great! So far, your idea about a “technology vision statement” is the closest thing I’ve found in my near month-long search for a model of progressive web policy to share with leaders in my district. I’ve posted calls for examples at both my blog and Classroom 2.0. I just can’t get a handle on what this kind of policy looks like and sounds like, and there aren’t a lot of examples out there.

David Warlick’s K-12 Online preconference keynote inspired some thoughts about why this may be the case — I recently wrote/rambled about it in my blog.

I would love to see the vision you crafted for your students and parents. Have you considered posting it?

Sylvia,

What a great idea! And what a great collaborative project for my Current Events class, since they can’t possibly get online for at least the first few days of class.

I’ll share any documents we come up with…might be a nice handout at Parents’ Night or a cool item to pass around at a BOE meeting!

Sylvia,

Thanks, you’ve spurred me onto search my district’s websites for their AUPs and to review them (as well as look at when they were last updated… curious to see how many were 3+ years ago… eesh!).

I like the idea of including students and parents, especially those that won’t repeat (I like the word parrot used).
