Action Plan to Use/Improve Software Skills

What software applications do you use regularly in your teaching practice?  The software applications I use regularly are Appleworks, Progress Book, Fast ForWord, and sometimes Word.

What other software skills would you like to improve to increase your professional efficacy?  I would like to be more knowledgeable of the software available for use in the classroom.  It seems that I'm only exposed to the basic software.  My school needs to provide training for teachers and purchase software that is beneficial for 21st century learning. 

The action plan I would like to see in place in my school is:

• purchase software that uses best practices in teaching/preparing students for 21st century learning skills
• support teachers with training and knowledge on how to use the software
• purchase the necessary technology equipment or upgrade any digital tool used with the software.
•  offer parents and community members the opportunity to learn about the software applications being used in the school district.
