522 Technology Implementation Plan
MIT 522 is a course that examines the planning and management of successful
training, professional development, and
technological projects in public or private schools. Areas of study include
planning and developing technology projects,
evaluating and analyzing school or district capacity and readiness for
a new technology project, organizing and managing
human resources and support systems, scheduling, budgeting, team structures,
defining project requirements, and quality
assurance. My role in the course was to use the knowledge gained from
topic discussions to develop an implementation
plan for a particular school.
For the course project, I worked with one another student to develop
a plan for implementing Palm-Pilots (PDA’s) into the
curriculum at Noble Middle School. The initial plan focuses on use in
sixth grade curriculum, with long-term plans of eventual
implementation into the entire school and school system. The project involved
determining the client, establishing a relationship
with the client, analyzing the school environment for determining the
infrastructure needs and project requirements, developing
communication systems, and developing an overall plan to meet the project
requirements and assuring quality.
I have included the entire
implementation plan and all of its components as they relate to the domain
competencies of
instructional technology.

Rationale
for Inclusion |
Promote
the diffusion and adoption of the instructional development process
Select strategies appropriate for promoting the diffusion and adoption
of the instructional development process in a given setting and state
a rationale for the strategies
|

The
purpose of the plan was to implement technology change within an organization
which required the ability to promote the diffusion and adoption of
the proposed change. |
| Demonstrate
a knowledge of the laws and regulations which govern the selection
and utilization of media/emerging technology, including copyright,
censorship, State Board Regulations, Local Board Policies, etc. |
|
The
implementation plan considers the laws and policies in the school
system chosen.
The competencies
allowed the ability to cater the proposal towards meeting the competencies.
