We proposed our new educational technology project to the Board of Education last night. Using the vehicle of the Educational Technology and Information Literacy plan, we proposed to place netbook computers in every 5th grade, every 6th and 9th grade Language Arts classroom in the district. Building on the successful support of the Learning Services' Universal Literacy Framework 
in five 5th grade classrooms at East, Field, Moody, Whitman and Hopkins Elementary schools, we proposed a project we call Inspired Writing.
The ET-IL Plan
(still in draft form) is a highly structured document to meet the requirements of the Colorado Department of Education. Our attempt to write a document that both meets the requirements but also communicates our vision is presented here. The Board was receptive to our presentation Thursday night and we will go back on April 23rd for approval of the plan.
Next stop: LPS Foundation Spirit of Littleton dinner to fund-raise for the project!

Re: Inspired Writing
Well done! I think you met your goal - very specific yet visionary. The concepts discussed are really quite universal. I plan to share this with the admin at our K-8 independent school.

Re: Inspired Writing
This looks like an excellent project. It is a pleasure to hear about an ed tech project with solid ties to curriculum goals and student outcomes, as well as which fits well with what research shows works.
I am working on a writing project myself that will create an open writing space for aspiring writers of all ages: www.k12opened.com/wiki/index.php/Writing_space. If any of your staff has input into this, we'd love to hear their ideas as we move forward.
