  • Technology infrastructure implementation and support
  • Management

Outcomes The outcomes of the Institute will be:
  • A deeper understanding of the complexity of integrating technology and curriculum

Program Description The Educational Technology Leadership Institute at Michigan State University will be held in two parts, the first on February 4 — 5, 1999 and the second on June 29 — 30, 1999. The February session will allow district teams to understand the roles they will play in the technology planning process, understand the issues that they will be confronted with, and allow guided work time to develop the initial phases of a curriculum integrated technology plan. The June session is intended as an opportunity to finalize and prepare for implementing the plan in the following year and for use in seeking grants and additional funding. Between the February and June sessions, teams will work with their local districts to develop their plans.

Cost The registration fee is $150 per team per session. Teams are expected to attend both the February and June sessions. Costs include all meals, conference materials and lodging at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center at Michigan State University. The Institute is limited to 50 teams of three members each. Selection of teams will be based on the number of applicants per region.
