Techonology Assessment




Assessing a very small school took very little time. It was quite amusing getting to know the technological culture of the private school I work at.
Although the school and the enrollment is modest, the technological capabilities are not behind the times. Almost every teacher has an interest in his or her classroom's technology components.

Just this past week I used http://www.youtube.com/ to show a short presentation of Rutherford's findings concerning experiments using the cathode ray tube and alpha particles. At least two other teachers are interested in the blog I created to help students keep track of assignments, and are now working on their own blogs. This past weekend was spent uploading names and grades into our new grading system. Just a few hours ago, one of our staff came across a projector in a surplus warehouse that simply needed a power cord to work, and thus our techonological inventory continues to grow.

After a few short phone calls, e-mails, and document scans, my anthropological analysis is complete. Please feel free to read my entire report.
