In our efforts to keep all school sites connected to the fast paced changes in educational technology we are creating a Tech Liaison Program. In brief, we would like each site to have one designee that is able to come to regularly scheduled monthly meetings (at least eight meetings per year). Meetings would be typically be from 4-6. We would have separate meetings for elementary and secondary.
Again the primary purpose would be to inform, update and educate. We also think it will strengthen the communication between the technology department and sites. The liaison would be able to provide principals and teachers with updated information on technology.
Note: this is not the Tech Ex program and therefore is not a paid position. Teachers would be able to get district accredited hours. We would suggest that while the liaison would have at least a moderate technology background, it is more important that the liaison be enthusiastic about educational technology.
