ORIGIN OF THE PROJECTS The "No Child Left Behind" mandates include an increased use of technology by students and teachers in the instructional process. The State of Oklahoma has set forth in the PASS document a set of Instructional Technology Standards. At the teachers' requests, these projects were developed to provide opportunities for teachers to address these technology standards while simultaneously addressing Information Literacy standards and curriculum area(s) standards. During the Summer of 2003, a group of teachers, library media specialists, and resource teachers gathered to create such projects. Rather than purchase vendor-created projects, TPS chose to have TPS teachers create projects which directly aligned with Oklahoma PASS and the Tulsa Public School District's Pacing Calendars. Since 2003, additional projects have been developed and posted. PURPOSE OF THE PROJECTS The projects were developed to model best practices to enhance learning by incorporating various instructional strategies and multiple intelligences. PROJECT NUMBERING SYSTEM Example: Project 1LA2:7/03 This project is: 1st grade, Language Arts emphasis, 2nd Quarter and developed on July, 2003. This numbering system will become important as more projects are developed. LA = Languages Arts MA = Mathematics SS = Social Studies SC = Science PROJECT MODIFICATIONS/ADAPTATIONS Please take each project and modify, adapt, and/or enhance according to the needs of your students and based on the resources available at your site. NEED TECHNICAL HELP OR TECHNOLOGY TRAINING? The Library Media Specialist at each school site has been informed of these projects and has attended an introductory training; therefore, collaboration with her/him will greatly enhance the success of these projects. If you would like further technology training, please check the Professional Development website for a listing of classes offered at Fulton.
