[ Jefferson H.S., LAUSD ]
Join the Technology Committee!
Updated January 25, 1999

---

 We need your help and participation. The Technology Committee needs at least one representative from each department. If your department does not have a representative, you may lose an opportunity to be heard. The Technology Committee will be making decisions on specific technological program proposals submitted by departments  this coming year.
 

Ongoing Tasks of Technology Committee:

 • Link Technology to Student Performance Standards

 • Arrange for Staff Training and sharing of effective practices

 • Build infrastructure and provide hardware.

 • Provide ongoing support

 • Evaluate all school technology proposals and funding. All funding   needs to be approved through the Tech Committee.

Duties of Technology Committee Members:

 • Stay informed of effective uses of technology. Attend workshops,   conferences, seminars. Visit schools demonstrating effective uses of technology (King MS, Foshay Learning Center, Bell HS). Become a life-long learner.

 • Keep informed of issues and news via school e-mail.

 • Ability to draw up certifications, surveys, selection and evaluation procedures.

 • Stay abreast of Jefferson, district, and state technology goals and   benchmarks.

Examples of Issues that need to be Addressed:

 • Evaluate proposals for various offices and departments.

 • Evaluate and standardize major purchases. For example, since many departments wish to buy word processing units, arrange for a vendor demonstrations from AlphaSmart and Dreamwriter. Evaluate both models and recommend one or both vendors. Many expensive  items like presentation systems need to be evaluated in this way.
