Technology Use PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines:
Prepare an audio PowerPoint addressing the following areas
Rationale - why develop a technology use plan?
Planning Team – who should be a part of the team and planning process?
Process Description – what are the steps in developing a technology use plan?
Vision Statement – provide a sample vision statement – your planning team will be able to
start with this sample and build on it.
Plan Goals/Objectives – provide sample goals and objectives - You would want to include
maintenance and support issues, curriculum integration, the need for staff development,
addressing district, state and national technology standards, etc.)
Needs Assessment - What needs should be addressed in the assessment instrument? Provide a
list of the general areas to be assessed. Attach a copy of your needs assessment.
Staff Development - Provide some suggestions for staff development as this will be such a
crucial element in the plan - and one that you, as the educational technologist will spearhead.
Evaluation/Research - Suggest how you would evaluate the plan - how will that be structured?
Will there be a research component?
Timeline- Provide a timeline for the development and implementation of the plan.
Audio component - Include audio for each of your slides - I know they will be short, and that
you would add more if you were giving this presentation in person, but it will add to my (and
other’s) understanding.
Slide Design/Legibility – The slides should look professional and easy to read.
