1. The business goals you want to achieve (Karyn) This instruction is meant to make the best use of newly purchased technology for teachers in a High School learning environment. As implementation of the district's technology plan, this training should reflect a positive and effective use of the newly purchased technology. With well-integrated technology, teachers and administrators will be able to see improvements in instruction. Below are the business goals we hope to achieve: 2. The material that must be taught (Karyn-I began jotting down ideas based on the information I have found so far, edit and ADD please!-just wanted to get the ball rolling) 3. The learners' current capabilities (Karyn-please edit and ADD to this) The intended audience of High School teachers at White Knoll contains a range of technological skills: from tech-savy to chalk board. Those enrolled in the course, however, will likely be teachers who are motivated to learn new skills in technology for the classroom. This course will provide instruction for all levels of learners, from beginning to advanced in hopes that all learners will glean information that is useful to them and their particular classroom situation.
 * 1) To use a commonly available technology device to improve engagement in lessons
 * 2) To diversify the media used to share information in instruction, professional development, and lesson planning
 * 3) To improve instruction and acquisition of skills by engaging tactile and kinetic learners through use of mobile/portable technology
 * 4) To provide meaningful training and technical assistance to improve efficiency of technology integration among students and teachers
 * 5) To functionally and meaningfully integrate common "real-world" technologies into student experience
 * how to project an image from the iPad
 * how to use the iPad for taking attendance
 * what apps make best use of iPad technology in the classroom
 * iPad as e-reader

Questions that Drive the Analysis

(Craig?) What are the organizational needs driving this training project?

In 2008, a bond referendum was passed by the residents of Lexington School District One to upgrade current technology and to go to a one on one computing inititve with the students of grades nine through twelve. In the bond referendum, the word, laptops was used and teachers started to prepare for laptops to be used in instruction. This past year the district made a change and decided to purchase iPads for student use. The problem arose on what teachers are supposed to do with the iPads and why use these in instruction. The purpose of our project is to provide a training to educators to help them learn how to use the iPad to enhance student instruction.

(Shelby)What are the goals and objectives for this training project? (Shelby)How will you define success for both the learner and the project (Karyn) How will you measure that success? Pre and Post surveys administered to the participants. (Karyn) Who is the intended training audience? Educators in k-12
 * 1) To provide skills and experience with the ipad for teachers through explicit instruction and modeling
 * 2) To use adapt popular technologies to functional instructional and planning uses
 * 3) To identify and share efficient uses of ipad technology in instructional and planning applications
 * 1) Teachers will become more familiar with and confident in using ipad technology
 * 2) Teachers will increase use of ipad technology for instruction and planning

(Craig?) What do the members of the learning audience already know?

Members of the audience already know that the district is expecting us to use the iPad in instruction to enhance student learning. Most teachers have an idea of the basic functions of the iPad on how to turn it on and off, and where to get apps at, but no knowledge on instruction.

(Craig?) What do they need to learn?

Educators need to learn about the uses of the iPad in the classroom and how the iPad can enhance instruction, particularly to help students learn new concepts and be beneficial to classroom instruction.

What resources are already available?

Technology that is avaliable to the teachers right now is the iPad2s, a connector to project the iPad and a powercord. ( NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR )

Steps in the Needs Analysis

(Karyn) Discover any existing materials - Some websites offer information on Education apps, but few on using the iPad. There are some relevant videos on Youtube: [], most focus on Apps and not basic classroom uses such as projecting an image: [] (Shelby)Define measurable business/organizational goals: Conduct an instructional analysis (Craig?) Analyze learners and contexts
 * 1) To use a commonly available technology device to improve engagement in lessons
 * 2) To diversify the media used to share information in instruction, professional development, and lesson planning
 * 3) To improve instruction and acquisition of skills by engaging tactile and kinetic learners through use of mobile/portable technology
 * 4) To provide meaningful training and technical assistance to improve efficiency of technology integration among students and teachers
 * 5) To functionally and meaningfully integrate common "real-world" technologies into student experience

Learners that will be taking the training are from all walks of life, the learners range from being highly technological savy to teachers who still use board and textbook for instruction. In other words, the learners range from IT pro to 2 year old computer levels.

(Shelby) Write learning objectives: based off of objectives approved by the group. - (Karyn-one idea) Instruct teachers on how to use iPad for e-reader -
