Teachers are coming along. Teachers are reviewing what they teach and how they are teaching it. Collaboration days between teachers has motivated them to use the CFF technology.  2. Discuss challenges you have encountered while implementing CFF as it relates to the curriculum such as helping teachers use data to identify areas that new strategies such as those provided by CFF may be appropriate, providing support for teachers to try new things, helping teachers provide authentic and rigorous assignments for students.

Discussed that the PDE Science and Technology standards, specifically, the Technology Devices strand, 3.7, do not include 21st Century skills, yet the CFF grant calls for the integration of 21st Century Skills. Recommendations to adopt the new ISTE NETS-S 2.0 Standards in lieu of continuing to use the Science and Technology 3.7. How do we know what standards are being covered by teachers in the CFF grant? CFF teachers-digital natives versus the digital immigrants. Discussed strategies to help teachers that are not motivated to use technology. Equity issues-teachers using CFF versus teachers not using it. Buildings need strong administrators to encourage teachers to integrate technology. Building administrators should model the use of technology. Challenges of installing a wireless network.  3.
