The District
Dorchester County Public Schools is located in Dorchester County, the largest county on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. There are approximately 5000 students in the Dorchester County
School District. Dorchester County covers 593 square miles of land and 108 miles of water.
There are 12 schools in this rural county are made up of 2 high schools, 2 middle schools, a
shared Technology Center, 6 elementary schools and 1 school that goes from Prekindergarten
through 8th grade. Student demographics collected from the 2015 Maryland Report Card show
that Dorchester County has 46% White students, 40% African American students, 7 % Hispanic
students, 6% Mutli-Raced students and 1% Asian students. The following information is divided
by elementary, middle and high school levels. 73% of elementary students, 66.9% of middle
school students and 55.8% of high school students receive Free and Reduced Meals. 5% of each
of those levels are working on a 504 plan or are Limited English Proficient. There are 9.3%
elementary students receiving special education services, 11.2 middle school students receiving
special education services and 9.1 high school students receiving special education services.
73.6% of the students are in a Title I school.
Dorchester County technology includes over 3600 desktop and mobile devices. Most
computers are Windows based. Software is managed from their Microsoft Student Licensing
Agreement. DCPS also uses iPad and Chromebook devices for students and staff. These are
mobile carts that are located in each school. Each school has WiFi for all teacher and student
computers. There are filters on the network that keep students and staff safe from inappropriate
content when using the internet. If teachers find a website blocked by the filter, they may request
it to be unblocked. Their request may be granted or denied by the technology department at the
board. Teachers and students have access to computer labs and mobile carts in each school with
programs such as Typing.com and First in Math already installed. Not all teachers utilize these
programs.
Technology Problems
Dorchester County Schools has developed a new technology plan that is currently in draft
form. This document states, Technology should be a seamless component in the
implementation of our districts approved curricula in all content areas when appropriate (DCPS
2
Technology Plan, 2016). This statement sounds good, but the district does not have the
technology or knowledge of technology to follow through at this point. The plan that is still
being developed also calls for Each grade level/department shall incorporate plans for the
ongoing integration of technology in their teaching/learning (DCPS Technology Plan,2016).
From talking teachers in my district, there are some with a great deal of knowledge on how to
integrate technology into their classroom, but there are others who barely know how to read their
email, let alone use technology with their students. Survey results showed that 77% of teachers
feel that using technology in their classroom is very important, while about 35% of teachers are
somewhat or not at all comfortable using technology in their classroom and about 64% of
teachers admitted to needing help to know which apps and programs to use. This reveals that
teachers know that technology use is important, but they need help knowing how and what they
should be doing with technology in their classroom. The time to teach these skills to all teachers
could be another problem. Almost 40% of teachers surveyed wanted to learn on a one-on-one
basis that included time to practice the skills.
Another potential problem in this district is access to appropriate technology. The

technology plan says Computers and/or other appropriate technologies should be available in
every classroom and learning space, balanced between individual, small group, and large group
use and instruction (DCPS Technology Plan,2016). Not all learning spaces have technology
accessible to all students and staff. Each school in the district has a mobile laptop or ipad cart as
well as a computer lab, but that is not enough technology is multiple classes wanted access
technology at the same time. When our district is involved in administering the required state
tests to students, all technology in each building is utilized. This means that classroom teachers
are not able to use technology for 4 5 weeks of the testing window.
Technology Needs
The staff of Dorchester County feel strongly that technology is very important to the
classroom (See graph below). Among the staff at DCPS, there is a wide range of background
knowledge about using technology. In addition to needing to know what apps, sites or programs
that they should be using in their classroom, some teachers need training on basic computer
systems and devices that are currently in their classroom.
3
After asking teachers in the district about what they want to know more about, there is a
need to know how to use or use more effectively, Office 365. Our county migrated to during the
past school year. There are many features that Office 365 offers that staff could use in their
planning. There are also features that our teachers could use with students that could encourage
collaborative work, but they need to know how to use these features before they can use them
with students.
This year our county also has a partnership with Discovery Education. It was discovered
in the survey that our teachers would like to know more about this tool. How to access the
lesson plans, how to assign assignments and how to find relevant material were a few of the
topics teachers would like more training on. The district has a Digital Leader Corp of teachers
that were selected to attend trainings from Discovery Education. Then they take what they have
learned back to the schools to train the staff on how to use the features in Discovery Education.
After one year, there is a need for these leaders to include all staff members which did not
happen this past year. When these teachers provided training during professional development
days, some teachers were pulled into other meetings such as the music, art, physical education
and media teachers. There are also classroom teachers that would like more small group
information on using this program in their classroom.

Based on survey results that can be found at

https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/F_2BOIjesksNoBWTEAI218Qmpj3FKPPXldIfBg7_2F
P81wk_3D I decided that the best topics to cover in our district would be:
Office 365 Tools

o Outlook/Calendar
o Word, Excel, PowerPoint
5
o One Drive
o OneNote/Class Notebook
o Yammer
How to Use devices in your Classroom
o Document Camera/Projector
o How computer is hooked up to devices
o iPads
o Mobi
o Mimio
o Wireless Devices
Discovery Education Tools
o My Content
o Builder Tools
o Classroom Manager
o Professional Learning
Web 2.0 Tools
o Kahoot
o Padlet
o Kiddle.co
o First in Math
o Typing.com
o Quizziz
o Quizlet
o Plickers
o Others Shared from Teachers
After being trained on each of these topics, learners will need time to practice and
collaborate with each other on what will work for their classroom or their content area.
Audience
The audience for this technology training plan is all staff in Dorchester County. There are
approximately 377 teachers, administrators, instructional coaches and instructional assistants that
work with the children in Dorchester County. Of the teaching staff, 43% of them have their
Standard Professional Teaching Certificate, 53% have their Advanced Professional Teaching
Certificate and 2 % have been issued Conditional Teaching Certificates as per the chart from the
Maryland School Report Card.
6
(2015 Maryland Report Card, 2016)
Since all teachers, administrators, coaches and instructional assistants work directly with our
students, they will need to have the same training in the technologies that are available in our
county. There is a wide range of technology experience among the staff of each school.
Therefore, not all professional development training will need to take place all together.
Each school has one or two classroom teachers that applied and were chosen to be part of
a Digital Learning Corp of teachers that will work with Discovery Education representatives to
become experts on using Discovery Education in our classrooms to enhance our lessons. These
representatives will serve as trainers in each school for the topics in the training program as well
as the Instructional Leader assigned to each school, which will be an employee from the IT
department or an identified leader in using technology in their classroom. Topics will be
discussed in the schools with these technology leaders being able to facilitate the sessions. There
will be training for individuals that are new to technology, individuals that are at an intermediate
level and for those individuals that are comfortable with using technology in their classroom.
During the summer a survey will be sent to all staff in the district asking questions about Office
365, Discovery Education and the devices that may exist in their classroom to see where
individuals skill levels range. Once skill levels are determined, groups within each school can
be established. Even though there is a wide range of number of years that teachers and assistants
have been working in the school system, the range of experience using technology does not
follow the same pattern. There are young teachers who are unfamiliar with how to use a device
7
in their classroom and there are people that have been teaching for over twenty years that have
kept up with technology as it has been introduced into our school system.
Goals/Objectives
The main goal for this training plan is to help teachers and staff become comfortable using
technology in their classroom. They need to know what technology that they have access to and
how to use it effectively to make our students 21st Century Learners. If the teachers, coaches and
instructional assistants are knowledgeable about using technology, then the students will be able
to learn. All staff need to demonstrate the following in their classroom and in their daily lives so
that students see technology as a tool not as a game or just one more thing that they have to
learn. Specific goals for this training plan are those found in the International Society for
Technology in Education.
ISTE Standards for Teachers

o 1. Facilitate and Inspire student learning and creativity - Teachers use their
knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate
experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-
to-face and virtual environments.
o 2. Design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and
assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources.
o 3. Model digital age work and learning Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills and
work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital
society.
o 5. Engage in professional growth and leadership Teachers continuously
improve their professional practice, model lifelong learning, and exhibit
leadership in their school and professional community by demonstrating the
effective use of digital tools and resources.
These goals will include learning what types of devices each school has and what apps, sites and
programs will be useful in each classroom. Grade level teams of teachers and instructional
coaches will develop lessons and activities that will enhance the standards that they are teaching
in their classroom. These activities will be shared with the instructional assistants who can use
them when they pull students out of the classroom for interventions. These goals also include
8
teachers learning and improving how to help students will special needs use technology. As staff
are designing and modeling digital age learning experiences and assessments students with
special needs will be taught how to utilize the functions on their device that can help them to use
the device (ISTE, 2016).

Instructional Strategies
Instructional Strategies that will be used in this training plan will be hands-on activities
that will give participants the opportunity to see the concept in action as they working through
how to use it and how to apply it to their subject or grade level. To speak to the multiple ways
that all people learn, there will be visuals as well as printed material for each type of learner. As
presented by the Center of Universal Design of Learning, learners need multiple means of
Representation, Action and Engagement to get the what, how and why that they are learning
something (UDL, 2012). These activities will incorporate reading, doing, hearing and seeing
examples of each topic. Such strategies will include:
Participants sharing what they want or need to learn (type of edcamp where participants
say what they want training in)
Leader demonstrations followed by participant action to re-create what the leader
demonstrated or to make the skill work for their own classroom
Following How-to directions or following How-to online videos
13
Turn and Talk collaboration between learners to talk about what they are doing and
sharing tips
Participation in sample quizzes or games on Kahoot, Plickers, Quizziz, Quizlet or other
games shared by participants that have worked well in their classroom
Participant sharing of tools used in their classroom that have worked for them
Five-Day Workshop
The five-day workshop explained in this section will be an example of what will happen
in all grade levels and in all buildings in our district. This example will be for elementary school
staff. Just like students who learn from each other, adults can share their knowledge with each
other. Some staff will be more comfortable learning new information from their peers instead of
in a large group of people or by one main instructors. Knowing this, there is a need for all levels
of learners to work together on some aspects of this plan and independently on others.
Therefore, this example plan includes beginning learners, intermediate learners and advanced
learners.
This workshop will be delivered during professional development days built into the
school year for all staff. The first training will be a day prior to the start of school. The other
four days will occur one time a month during the planned professional development days.

Subject(s) of the day's workshop Prerequisite Knowledge
Office 365 Overview Learners should be able to sign in to their school Outlook account
Learners will need to be able to access a word document from their
documents folder
Content
This workshop will be an overview of the features found in Office 365. All staff will benefit from knowing
the features that are included in Office 365. Office 365 enables collaboration through OneDrive that will be
useful to staff and students. Since whole county team planning is not possible due to limited professional
days, teachers will be able to share documents or lesson plans with grade level teachers in other buildings.
Teachers will also be able to share with instructional assistants when necessary.
15
Objectives
Learners will sign in to email and sort mail into folders
Learners will create an event in their Outlook calendar
Learners will create a Word Document, an Excel Document and a Power Point
Learners will create a new page in OneNote
Learners will share a document in OneDrive
Learners will set up a Class Notebook
Learners will access Yammer
Strategies
The topics for todays workshop will be shared at the beginning of the day. Participants will talk to their
peers and decide which topics they need to be trained on and will sign up so the leaders can see where the
focus will need to be. Since training is already planned, leaders will be ready to proceed. Beginners and
intermediate that prefer, can watch the instructor model how to sort email, add an event their calendar,
create documents, etc. on the overhead screen, etc. The option of watching videos will be available for those
who would rather work at their own pace like some intermediate and advanced learners. If learners are
comfortable with a skill, they may proceed to the next skill. Advanced learners will also choose to participate
in learning or helping to teach a skill or concept by working with the participants one-on-one if needed.
Materials
Computer (Each school can choose their location) School computer lab or teachers gathered in one
room with their school issued laptop or teachers working through the workshop at their own computer
Headphones (for independent work)
Evaluation Strategies
Learners will be emailed an overview of the topics presented and links to videos to refer back to as they
become more comfortable integrating these skills into their classroom.
Learners will be asked to complete an evaluation of the workshop. This evaluation survey can be found in
OneDrive. It will be the same format as the evaluation tool found in Summative Assessment Section. Results
of the survey will be used to adjust any necessary content.
Workshop Title What Day # 2
Technology is Available?
Subject(s) of the day's workshop Prerequisite Knowledge
What Technology Devices do I Have
Access? Teachers need to find out what technology they have in their
classroom
16
Content
This workshop will go over the devices and hardware that each teacher has in their classroom. Each school in
our district may have a different compilation of technology, therefore each school will need to address what
devices their school has access to. Possible devices and hardware are desktop or laptop computers, document
cameras, projectors, 1 iPad, Mimio, Interwrite pads, mobile iPad carts, mobile laptop carts, mobile laptop
stream (small laptop) and /or bluetooth technology. These devices might be in each classroom or in a shared
mobile cart. Every teacher should know how to use what they have in their room and be able to use any of
the mobile carts in their school. All staff members should be able to use these technologies since instructional
assistants are at time in the classroom with teachers or to cover a class for one reason or another. Instructional
Assistants will pair up with a classroom teacher for this activity.
Objectives
Learners will name all technology they have access to
Learners will know how all hardware are connected or how they work (where batteries are in
wireless)
Learners will demonstrate how to use Mobi on their whiteboard (in classrooms that have this
technology)
Learners will demonstrate how to maneuver on an iPad, search for and download an app
Learners will discuss and demonstrate uses for the wireless keyboard and mouse
Strategies
Teachers will need to be with the technology that that they have in their classroom, so this workshop will take
place in selected classrooms in each school. Learners who are familiar and comfortable with the various
technology can lead the workshop for beginners and some intermediate leveled learners. For beginners and
intermediate that prefer, this lesson will be taught by teachers watching the instructor model how to. Other
intermediate level learners and some advanced learners will want to work with the devices on their own right
away. Technology leaders can work through each skill in a collaborative, hands on way.

This workshop will be an overview of the basics of using Discovery Education conducted by the Digital
Leader Corp representatives in each building. Some Instructional Staff have had training on Discovery
Education, the training will be divided into beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. Staff who have not
had Discovery Education training will meet with one leader, staff that have had the training, but want a
refresher can meet with the other leader and staff who feel confident with the basic skills can work on
creating lessons to use in their classroom. These staff will then share what they created with their team
members.
Objectives
Learners will find information relevant to their topic and add it to My Content
Learners will create a class
Learners will build an assignment
Learners will build a quiz
Learners will build a writing prompt
Learners will use the Professional Learning tab learn how to learn and lead
Strategies
As stated in Content, this workshop will be divided into comfort level groups. Staff who have not had
Discovery Education training will meet with one Digital Corp leader, staff that have had the training, but
want a refresher can meet with the other leader and staff who feel confident with the basic skills can work on
creating lessons to use in their classroom. These staff will then share what they created with their team
members. After all staff have had an introduction or refresher to the material there will be time for
collaboration. Participants will have individual questions or want to discuss strategies with their peers.
Materials
Heaphones (in case of individual work)

Workshop Title Web 2.0 Tools Day # 4

Web 2.0 Tools - Apps, Website, area (Instructional Assistants should have knowledge of the interventions
19
Programs that they will be responsible for this year)

Learners should know how to download an app or navigate to a website
Content
This workshop will give instructional staff an overview of many Web 2.0 tools (different apps, websites or
other programs) that can be used in classrooms. The learners will watch how to use the program and then
will be given time to practice and create an item that they can use in their content area.
Objectives
Learners will take a Kahoot quiz created by their instructor and create a Kahoot for their content area
Learners will participate in a Quizziz created by their instructor and create a Quizziz for their content
area
Learners will participate in a Quizlet created by their instructor and create a Quizlet for their content

Learners will become familiar with Kiddle.co, First in Math and Typing.com by using each tool
Learners will watch a tutorial for Edmodo and hear how teachers have used the program in their
content area
Learners will participate in a Plickers quiz
Learners will share apps, sites or websites that they have used in their classroom
Learners will search for apps or websites to use in their content area
Learners will create a Padlet that shares what they learned today and their favorite tool from today
Strategies
This workshop will be conducted with the entire staff in each school. Even though some participants will
have more experience with some of these apps or websites, they will be able to share with the group how they
have used the app in their classroom. This will help other participants by hearing real-world experiences
from their peers. Learners will participate in quizzes on several sites so that they can feel like the students
will feel the first time they use a site or an app. This will also add a little fun into the workshop.

Teachers (learners) should know how to access Web 2.0 tools and
Creating a Useable Lesson Discovery Education
Content
This workshop will help learners with little to no experience working with technology in their classroom to
create a useable lesson that they can use in their classroom with their content. Learners will collaborate with
their grade level team or content team to use the information from the past four days to create this lesson.
Digital Leader Corp teachers will be available as well as the instructor of this course. In addition, learners
will have the advantage of collaborating with other staff who have experience using these tools in their
classroom.
Objectives
Learners will identify a resource or two that they have learned about that can be used for their content
Learners will use these resources to create a meaningful lesson on a topic that they choose
Learners will review this lesson with a small group
Strategies
This session will utilize the entire staff in each building, but will focus on the beginning to intermediate
leveled learners. These learners will see an example of how to use technology discussed throughout the four
days of training in a real lesson example from a teachers classroom. Participants will then break into content
or grade level teams to work on creating a usable lesson for their classroom that integrates technology. These
groups may work in the computer lab or a classroom. In small groups, teachers will have the assistance of
other staff that have successfully used technology in their classroom to create their own lesson. This can also
be done individually if so desired. Leaders and the instructor will also be available for questions and
assistance.
Materials
Headphones (for students to work on their own)
Materials
21
The materials for these sessions will be shared with all participants on the website
allebachonlineworkshop.weebly.com and through DCPSs OneDrive. The activities found on the
website will guide learners through the items and activities for this workshop and will be
available as a resource when learners are working on building their lessons and integrating
technology in the future. Activities will be interactive so that participants stay engaged in the
training. An example of one of the interactive activities can be found at
https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/927802a4-1279-4518-87e1-7f0fd7cb7476. Kahoot.it is an app for
laptop or iPad that allows teachers to create quizzes and surveys to use with their students. This
survey will be a good way to get participants engaged at the beginning of the first day of
workshops.
Field Test
Before sharing this plan with all staff members, this training plan will be tested with a
group of staff. Each year in DCPS a representative from each school is asked to participate in a
task force for their grade level. The Elementary Task Force is led by the Supervisor of
Elementary Education and includes the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, the principal of
each school and a classroom teacher representative of each school. There is a Secondary Task
Force for the middle and high school levels. Before field testing this professional development,
an instructional assistant and teacher from phys ed, art or music should also be added to these
two groups. These groups will be presented with this professional development and will be
asked to give their constructive suggestions of how to improve the workshop. This will need to
be done as summer professional development so that the training is ready to go for all staff
members at the beginning of the school year. Participants will be asked to take feedback notes
throughout the training. This feedback will be given through the following written questions and
open discussion so that feedback is immediate.
Evaluation of Technology Training Workshop
22
Please use this space to take notes for the final evaluation of the training as you work
through the workshop.
Please complete these questions at the end of the training.
1. How comfortable were you following the material presented?
2. Was there any point where you were confused about the directions?
3. Were the tools presented applicable/helpful to your position?
4. What would suggest to improve the flow of this training?
5. What other suggestions for improvement do you have?
Revisions
Based on the information from the field test, trainings will be adjusted by the Digital
Corp leaders as well as the Training Instructors. Adjustments will be made so that each
23
participant at each school will benefit from the information presented. The vision is for the
information to be presented in a friendly way with a comfortable pace that meets the needs of
everyone involved.
Evaluation
At the end of each workshop day, participants will be asked to complete a survey
evaluating the effectiveness of the training. This evaluation will ask them to give feedback as to
what worked for them or what did not work for them as well as suggestions for improving the
training. This information will be used to make adjustments to the training for the next year.
Teachers will also need to be observed integrating technology into their lessons. Last
school year, Digital Corp Leaders were trained on how to teach others to use the aspects of
Discovery Education. This year, since they have already had the training, their time out of their
classroom will be spent observing teachers or instructional assistant in their classrooms or areas
to see how they are effectively using Discovery Education as well as the other tools presented in
the training to improve their teaching. What they observe will be used to determine which
teachers will need further training and which teachers are effectively using the technology and
tools. Principals and other administrators could also be on the look-out for this integration as
they walk through classrooms or perform their observations. A short tool to help in this
evaluation:
Observation of Teacher/Instructional Assistant Using Technology Tools

Teacher uses a Web 2.0 Tool in their lesson _____Yes _____ No
Teacher uses Discovery Education in their lesson to
__________________________________ _____ Yes _____ No
Instructional Assistant uses an app to provide App ____________________
intervention to student on their instructional level Content Area _____________
Summative Evaluation
Each workshop day will have its own evaluation found in OneDrive. Since these
workshops will be spread out over the first few months of the school year, at the end of the last
session, there will be a final Evaluation Survey. Participants will be asked to think back over all
24
of their trainings. At this point, they will have had time to implement or use the strategies that
they learned in the training. They will be asked about what has worked for them so far and what
they feel like they need more information or practice on. They will also be asked to rate
themselves on the various skills presented in the trainings now that they have had time to
practice.

Budget
There is a need in this district for all staff to be trained in integrating technology into their
classrooms, therefore this training plan will be presented during professional development days.
One at the beginning of the school year and one for the first four months of the school year
(September December) on previously scheduled professional development days. All trainings
will take place in each school. Each school will have an instructor who is either from the IT
department or a teacher in the building trained as a Digital Corp Leader. In addition, each school
will have an IT person available for troubleshooting any technical issues. All staff are required
to attend these professional development days that are included in their contract, therefore, there
will be not cost associated with this District Technology Training Plan.
Follow-up
