Online research and the creation of projects of digital activism during the past school year has allowed/pushed students to encounter and learn about many digital environments that were new to them and potentially very useful for their future.
6	10/25/2009 18:00:48	Hershey Middle School	Hershey, PA	835	Grades 6 - 8	http://www.hershey.k12.pa.us/hersheyms/site/default.asp	Al Harding, Director of Technology; Sue King, Principal	aharding@hershey.k12.pa.us;sking@hershey.k12.pa.us	Our middle school has 6 classrooms with netbooks for all students; all other core classrooms have 5 netbooks and other classrooms have at least 4 desktop computers. The entire building has wireless internet access. There are 12 classrooms that have interactive whiteboards, digital cameras for student use, Classroom Response systems, and other tools for teacher use and student use. The media center has 15 desktop computers, flip cameras, and other tools for students to use. There are also mobile carts of netbooks and full-size laptops to be used by teachers. There are no sites that are blocked for students or staff other than Ebay. Students are allowed to use cell phones for instructional use under teacher direction.	We are moving towards a 1-1 environment for our students, but also have provided our teaching staff with extensive opportunities for professional development. We have a technology integration coach who works with the teachers K - 8 to support them. We are in our third year of our T.I.M.E. program (Technology Integrator Master Educators) through which teachers who are strong in their instruction are provided with a "high-tech" classroom and take part in intensive training and collaborative sessions to integrate technology effectively. We are in our second year of our netbook program (mentioned above). Although our emphasis in the netbook program has been on increasing our student writing and writing to learn across content areas, we have also been focusing on modeling and teaching effective researching and on-line collaboration among students and teachers in the school and with outside audiences.	Our efforts have been greatly supported by a district administration and school board of directors who understand the need to prepare our students to be lifelong learners and digital citizens.

The Digital Arts Technology Academy @ CCHS is a CPA program with in the larger scope of the 2800+ student population. In addition to the multiple servers used at CCHS there are also dedicated Mac servers for both the 24-7 program and DATA. DATA was the first program in PSUSD to launch the use of Ning to supplement the DATA dedicated server. Since its launch, cloud-based networking has replaced the DATA server usage exponentially. Since presenting Ning in PSUSD 15-20 Ning networks were launched in year one to support multiple programs. Beyond iLife '09, Photoshop CS3x, Cinema 4d, and Flash, DATA has also implemented the use of Google Sketch Up, Docs, Reader, and Sites, Picasa, Flickr, Mobile Me galleries, iTunes, Vimeo, Wikispaces, Ning, Woordle, and Group Card to support student learning and interact with global orientated learning communities and local professionals. With out such tools, curriculum development and stimulation would not be sufficient to raise the bar of student learning in the digital arts.	A series of interconnected wikis sites and the Digital Arts Education Ning are in place for the digital imaging strand of DATA to support creativity and supporting dialogue in this digital arts program. A two terabyte server supports intro classes to teach students local networking but cloud-based networking dominates the Di curriculum based on it's ability to celebrate student achievement at a tremendously higher level, facilitate digital citizenship, and connect to local professionals who support the Di CTE program. Wikispaces in conjunction with various web-based still and video galleries are used to deliver and support Di curriculum. Embedded student content crosses all sites and is funneled to the 'outside' world via The DATA Blog.	The use of the traditional (Web 1.0) site still exists for DATA but currently acts as a 'gateway' to the higher level (Web 2.0) DATA sites.

We use a school wiki for staff and students for collaboration and communication on various school wide needs and events. Google Docs and forms are used often and in various ways. We use a FIZZ environment (like YouTube) to house instructional videos to support content learning for both students and community. We use Facebook and Twitter to communicate with parents and community members special news and events of the school.	We also look for various ways to connect, communicate and collaborate outside the school and community walls.

Teachers are using ning, blogs, wikis, edmodo, anumoto and more. The school has a twitter account @cardinalohara. We are looking to go 1-1 for the 2010-2011 school year.	As I stated, we are planning on 1-1 combined with solid PD to prepare and sustain a student centered, inquiry based approach.

As the technology coordinator for my school for 10 years, I have built a relationship with district administrators such that when I ask for sites to be unblocked and explain how students will benefit from their use, they allow the sites at my school. I have a technology plan for my school which focuses on Information and research fluency, and communication; therefore, web 2.0 resources are an integral part of my daily lesson plans.	The major obstacle to using many of the collaborative sites available is the requirement that students need email addresses to register for services at many of them. Since I teach at an elementary school this is frequently a problem. Overcoming teachers' and parents' "fear" of online communication and networking remains a problem, yet I find it easier to overcome than one might think. After you show them what the students can do, include explicit instruction that addresses ISTE standards, and get administrative support, you're on your way to an exciting, enriching technology program. It does take tenacity and a whole lot of enthusiasm.

Students create collaborative research video projects that use on line sources such as C-Span, United Streaming, and Youtube to create documentaries. Final projects are featured in a yearly "film festival" and are shared on line via our website or thinkquest. Thinkquest and edublogs are also used to store student work and create create collaborative interaction between students and teachers and between students.	Some teams take more advantage of the available web2.0 more than others. We recently conducted a very successful Skye interview with Ken Burns for the students engaged in creating video documentaries.
