•The STC will be responsible for maintaining and inventorying technology devices.

EVALUATION•Technology usage forms to document all use of technology used in the classroom

•Video footage and photos of student and teacher use of technology in the classroom

•Student/Teacher surveys detailing what worked and what did not will be conducted at the end of the school year
