Surveyed by Mrs. Klein
Each student will fill out a survey describing his or her thoughts on using technology in the classroom and at home.  Their interest level, willingness, and accessibility will be recorded.  I will also reflect on the monitoring process regarding the same questions.


The necessity for completing an online assignment will assist me in evaluating student access to technology.  Additionally, I’ll be able to monitor student participation and evaluate if students’ campus-wide participation in an after-hours “open-computer lab” improves their confidence in working with technology.  Data regarding completion rates, student mastery, and student participation will hopefully support the district B.Y.O.T. program and a possible campus program to assist students and families with technology access.
