Seminar III - Measure It!

By Cheryl Lemke and Ed Coughlin

Communities across the country are allocating significant resources to learning technology -- and they expect a return on that investment. With our Measure It! seminar, school leaders will learn to track, gauge, and report the impact of learning technology. Learn through demonstrations, presentations, and 'click throughs' of key on-line resources. Expect interactive discussions of general approaches to evaluating technology initiatives and opportunities for hands on investigations of which tools and resources will assist education technology evaluations. Examples will be drawn from Metiri's work with districts across the country and tailored to fit your needs. Walk away with measurement strategies that specifically address your school district's technology investments.

Participants will leave this customizable seminar with:

• A deeper understanding of strategies and methods for evaluating education technology initiatives
• Resources, links and tips for measuring education technology outcomes and processes at the student, educator, and system levels
• Measurement strategies for specific education technology projects selected by each participant
• Ideas for reporting progress with learning technology to your school board and communities
