Calling All Students!!

Hey Yorkies!...Mr. Byrd and I and the rest of the Tech Committee need your input as we tackle the job of updating the tech plan for the next 3 years. When you have the time, take a moment to post your responses to these questions or send them to ctorg@york.org. Please be realistic--for ex. we won't be going completely wireless or becoming a laptop campus by 2010. Specific examples or anecdotes are much appreciated.

1. How well does the current campus technology fulfill your academic needs?
2. How well-prepared are you to handle course assignments that require the use of technology?
3. What kinds of additional tech would you appreciate having access to on campus to help you complete classwork?
4. How could your teachers better use technology to help you master the course material?
5. Is there anything you expect you'll need to be able to do in college with technology that you're not practicing now?
6. What should a new tech plan really, truly not forget to include? (again, be realistic...)

Thanks for taking the time to add feedback. Parents, if you'd like to toss in your thoughts here, we'd appreciate your input on these kinds of issues as well.
