Teachers tag their own classes
Teachers "tag" their own classes by virtue of reporting "tech credit" for student during any of the four report card reporting windows via ABI.
Semester courses may be "tagged" as a result of a "Lesson(s)", a "Project", or multiple technology experiences planned throughout a course. What all of these options have in common is that they integrate 4 of 6 NETS Standards at some point in the duration of the course.
Teachers report student success via the ABI report card
Teachers report student success via the ABI report card during established report card window time periods.
Teachers click on a "U - grades 7-8, V - grade 9-10, and W grade 11-12 within the ABI report card comments code list. These codes report a student has "passed" a teacher's technology integrated project or experience.

Support reources for teachers
We are excited about supporting teachers, especially some of your colleagues you might be thinking are not exactly comfortable with technology. Barbara Miller, recently retried from Haskell MS, is a well respected teacher among her peers as a great mentor and teacher of teachers. Barbara will serve as the district technology integration specialist for this project and be available to all secondary schools for direct support on campus. Barbara's functions also includes coordinating activities with the new site technology integration specialists, direct assistance to secondary teachers' lesson planning with technology, and the coordiantion of key staff development offerings designed to support this new policy.
In addition, teachers are provided a variety of tools to self-determine if their tech integration effort meets the district standard. Tools includes the NETS, ABC’s 2008 PreK-12 Technology Standards and Benchmarks, and custom designed online tools to assist teachers with lesson design using technology and the NETS.

The NETS Lesson Bank
Teachers submit, review and utilize pre-approved projects within The Lesson Bank.
Teachers may submit review and utilize lessons within The Lesson Bank. All bank lessons, projects and course experiences meet the high school technology graduation requirement standards of integrating 4 of 6 NETS. Teachers are encouraged to utilize the lesson bank for ideas and to submit their creations for the benefit of other ABC teachers.
