Monitoring the Action Plan

At this point in the action plan I believe that I have completed all of the necessary steps prior to the actual meeting times. Part of the plan was to create an internet based work space for the members of a webconferencing workshop to share strategies and resources. Currently it is developed and awaiting members to join. I have discussed the plan with a colleague who will be part of the workshop and we shared ideas about how to make the work space more efficient and user friendly. At this point there is very little to do until the workshops commence.

I understand that is assumed that we would be taking steps weekly to complete our plan. Unfortunately, this plan does not lend itself to that model. I feel that the plan I created is still appropriate and will yeild positive results.

Thinking of other plans that I can incorporate I stop at earning a Master's degree in technology. We were supposed to choose a plan that helped address a need we have in terms of incorporating technology for our students. Pursuing this degree is helping every area outlined in the NETS-T standards. Even though I did not previously outline this as a plan it can easily be done. Taking the pursuit of the degree and the eventual workshops into account I feel that I am taking appropriate steps to improve on the NETS-T standards.

I agree that this degree will improve all or our abilities in instruction and meeting the NETS-T standards. What is the address for the collaborative workspace?

The idea behind the collaborative workspace is to have a forum for teachers in my district who are taking the same professional development courses. Sort of a go to for resources and ideas. Unfortunately this space is password protected and only open to members of my district. It would be nice to have access open to all teachers so the next one might have that ability.
