Part I. Analysis Document Tech Savvy Academies A Group 6 Brandi Lockhart - Project description Tech Savvy Academies (possible websitewww.techsavvyacademy.edu) is focused on providing K-12 schools and educators with the tools they need to effectively teach students utilizing the latest technology standards available. Some of these technologies may include but are not limited to Google, Skype, podcasts, and new media standards. The free Google tools alone are great for teachers and students alike.
Some teachers may have been hesitant to introduce technology into the classroom because they are not 100% comfortable with how to implement with the curriculum that already exists.Our project design will show educators that technology will not only increase their effectiveness as a teacher but also make their classroom time more productive.
Needs analysis
Instruction may not completely solve the problem, but it will open up the door to those educators who were not aware some of these tools exist. It can be used to enhance their current curriculum or to create an entirely new, more effective learning plan.
The purpose of the instruction is to give educators more tools to create more technology based schools. This will give their students a more competitive edge regardless of their socio-economic status. An instructional intervention is warranted because technology is evolving at a much faster rate than the standards for teacher certification and school accreditation. Even though a specific technology is not required by the district or being utilized does not mean that a teacher should not be proficient.
