Describe Progress Below
2010-11
Over 200 people (faculty/staff/students/parents) attended the technology showcase.
Fifteen students submitted projects. Eight students who participated in creating projects for the
showcase completed an online survey about the experience. The feedback was overwhelmingly
positive.
Describe Needed Changes: The showcase and Technology Enhancement Committee needs to be
revamped to include those who are using technology in the classroom, but who are not members of the
committee. Incorporating technology projects as a part of the international module in classes is being
planned for future showcases.
