At BCS, I taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Honor's Geometry. However,
the varying levels of technology intervention pertaining to this study
were only done with Algebra 1.
Technology at BCS
-
In order to assess how well BCS is integrating technology, I used "a self-assessment
tool designed to provide schools with the information they need to better
integrate technology into their educational process." The assessment or
STaR
chart revealed the following information:
Hardware: Target Tech
Connectivity: Mid Tech
Content: High Tech
Professional Development: High Tech
Integration and Use: Mid Tech
Based on the average of my responses, BCS is at the High Tech
level.
