**NANUET UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY PLANNING SPACE**
The Nanuet School District Technology Planning Wiki is a place for you to view materials and communicate your thoughts with other colleagues who have a desire to collaborate in the development of the district's technology plan.

The charge of the Technology Planning Committee, Nanuet 2.0, is as follows: Define the kind of learning environment that our students need in order to be successful in the 21st century. Technology is a tool and not an end in itself. //It is not in the scope of the committee to discuss or pick hardware. All hardware decisions will be made by the district based on the recommendations for teaching and learning included in the plan.// **The focus of the committee will be on teaching and learning.**

Nanuet is working with internationally renowned consultant, Bernajean Porter, in the design of the technology plan. The district is using the Education Technology Planners, Inc. __Technology and Learning Spectrum__ as the blueprint for the design of the plan. Specifically the plan is focusing on Transforming Uses:
 * Instructional Focus: Student centered, Constructivist pedagogy - Technology uses enable new learning tasks not possible without technology
 * Technology Focus: Essential/Re-culturing Learning Tasks - Integrating is "just-in-time" technology skills as needed for learning content standards/projects
 * Staff Development Focus: Essential skills and practices are articulated, expected, supported, and measured for all teachers. Adequate funding is in place.

It is required that every district have on file with the New York State Education Department a technology plan that is updated annually and approved by SED. Minimally the plan must include the following:
 * Vision, Mission, and Goals Statement
 * Strategies to Achieve the Vision (Action Plans)
 * Staff Development Plan
 * Current Inventory
 * Budget
 * Plan Evaluation Process

The Wiki represents how a technological tool can be used to involve a whole school community in a discussion around a critical issue. While a core committee comprised of teachers, administrators, and students is currently at work and using this Wiki space to lead the development of the Nanuet 2.0 plan, the Wiki space is open and accessible to all Nanuet colleagues who would like to be a part of transforming teaching and learning at Nanuet. Your involvement is valued and appreciated.
