School Evaluation Description
The purpose of this assignment is to rate a school's technology environment, to figure out to what extent the plan is in effect and to evaluate it. The answers to these questions were found by conducting an evaluation of a school's technology environment by using the Technology Maturity Benchmarks Rubric.
After conducting this survey, I have discovered that there are many moving parts to a school's technology program. Many people have to work together to make technology in a school successful.
I have learned there are many aspects to a school's technology program. The Maturity Model Benchmark Rubric really helped me focus on the details of the school's technology programs, internet use, buy-in to technology programs and technology resources used within the school to improve student learning.
