2. Some things you needs to know This should take approximately 25 minutes or less You will see: “Yes, I agree to participate with the understanding that I may withdraw at any time.” THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL because we are an IMPACT School and a recipient of $432,000.00 and have paid over $2,000.00 for evaluation. Carefully select CORRECT school from drop down We are IMPACT 3c, so ignore the question intended for IMPACT 2 if you neglect a question, the survey will not progress We do have an Implementation plan as required by IMPACT The plan is updated often! Our Media Center is flexibly scheduled Chip is our Technology Assistant Yes, we have a cataloging system Professional productivity refers to programs like Outlook email, Calendering,Moodle, Excel, PowerPoint, etc… Tech professional development is offered but not all take advantage of the offerings.

3. Approximately 20 minutes Responses will be kept strictly confidential You will see this statement: PARTICIPATION. Your participation in this study is voluntary; you may decline to participate without penalty. If you decide to participate, you may withdraw from the study at any time without penalty and without loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. If you withdraw from the study before data collection is completed your data will be returned to you or destroyed at your request. Again, we are an IMPACT Grant school and this survey is not optional We are IMPACT 3c, so ignore the question intended for IMPACT 2 Able to teach others in this survey does not mean you will be drafted to teach others! We do not use HyperStudio so ignore that as an option – PowerPoint is used here. Save and access files on your school network?

8. When we say "used computers in your classroom" we mean either by working directly at a computer in your classroom, or by watching the teacher use a computer to do a presentation. Will ask students if they have a computer at home, but doesn’t ask if they have internet access. Spring 2011 - Angie Cathcart IMPACT Technology Skills Checklist 6-8 Spring 2011
