Week5 moving to the Action Plan steps, Timeline, and Budget for the plan

 

 

  1.  If internet access is included in your plan, how might Broadband internet access for all Americans impact your community?  Is this an issue for your community?  How does your school or district currently address this need if it is not an equity issue? 

My plan does not include internet access. It is assumed that the patient will have access to have a telehealth visit with the provider. Per previous semester research the rural areas of Oklahoma have internet access, and most households have a device. The problem is that the patients may not know how to use the app. Regarding education implementation needs we found that this provider is new to using the outpatient MEDITECH Electronic Health Record (EHR). The provider has received weekly training by the IT department. The goal is to have the first patients on May 1st, 2026.

  1. Consider the discussions in the ISTE (2018) guidance document and Crossland et al (2018) of accessibility, UDL, and/or personalized learning outcomes for students.  How might either or both of these documents support your proposed technology integration plan?  (Note: Only 15% of funds provided may be used to purchase devices/software; the bulk of the funds must be used for professional learning.)

The Crossland et al. (2018) document addresses the ten most frequently asked questions from the education key stakeholders. Q1 How is technology transforming education? Q2What does the law say about digital accessibility? Q3How should accessibility fit into my ESSA plan? Q4 How can universal design principles help me plan? Q5How do accessibility, technology, and personalized learning intersect? Q6 What are the benefits of accessibility? Q7 How can I get started? Q8 What is important to consider during the technology procurement process? Q9 What is the relationship between accessibility and usability? Q10 What are characteristics of schools, districts, and states that have successfully addressed technology and accessibility?

The ISTE (2020) guide encourages the integration of technology to support Title IV-A funds. The guide calls to expand professional learning opportunities. The guide provides the following steps for directors or coordinators: Identify your state’s Title IV-A coordinator(s), Identify your state’s current Titte IV-A priorities, Conduct additional landscape research as necessary.

The recommendations of ITE (2020) guide and the Crossland et al. (2018) document support my project in relationship of finding the stake holders and providing telehealth services to those that are in disadvantage in obtaining psychiatric mental health services due to their rural locations.

  1. What funding option(s) might be a good match for the vision and goals of your technology integration plan?  Provide support for your answer. What are your next steps to pursue this option(s)?

It would be great if this provider had a new computer to provide the services of telehealth, however when asked for borrowing equipment, there was a negative response due to this provider not being an employee of the company. There are limitations in what tit can be offered due to the provider owning a slow and old laptop. There is no paid training for this provider, The hope is that as the first of May comes, there are patients that provide and income to update the equipment and make up for the unpaid training hours. The next steps are just getting started and evaluate in a monthly basis how effective this project becomes in helping people with the mental conditions at the same time of providing an income for the provider and the AVEM health partners.

  1. Examine funding practices for technology within your school/district/organization. What is the technology budget? Consulting current and past school budgets may be helpful.  For Public/Independent school districts you may find information under your district website under Administration ->School Board or Committee documents.  April is typically the time of year that new budgets are reviewed.

There is no budget. The AVEM health group had provider salaried IT employees that are collaborating with this provider as part of their salary. The provider is voluntarily spending time on training. The compensation will be according to the number of patients seen in the Monday to Thursday work week. Hopefully it is a successful program.

Monica Tubbesing Blog TPACK

Monica Tubbesing's TPACK discussion. The Technology, Pedagogical, and Cont ent Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework first introduced by Punia Mishra and Mathew J. Ko ehler in 2006. There are three domains that are interconnected and should be balanced to integrate technology into the classroom. The domains are a) Content Knowledge (CK), b) Pedagogical Knowledge PK), and c) Technological Knowledge. This framework is visually learned by the intersection of three circles , each circle representing a domain (Kurt, 2018) .   The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) developed seven competencies or standards for students . Many countries have embraced these competences. These standards prepare students to navigate through technology to shift fr om a teacher learning environment into a student driven environment.     The ISTE seven competencies for students are a) Empowered Learner, b) Digital Citizenship , c) Knowledge Constructor, d) Innovative Designer...
