The year began with the installation of 12 new Smartboards.Teachers neeeded to be trained in use and implementation. Teachers were encouraged to take district classes and many did. In addition, I presented a school inservice on some of the interactive uses of the Smartboard. A dialog has developed among treachers concerning new ideas and uses. With the implementation of Project Excel, more emphasis was put on the use of 21st century skills. A core group of teachers has formed a group to investigate 21st skills as their professional development academy. All Project Excel plans incorporated 21st century skills and that is the key component of our school tech plan. Effectiveness will be monitored through observation, reflection, teacher collaboration, and use in evaluation.**
