Technology Assessment

Assignment #3 is an assessment of my school's technological capabilities and atmosphere. My findings will aid me in completing future assignments. This search will also help me identify what my "must-haves" are for next year when I look for a teaching job.


Scour the website and you'll come up empty-handed. If you want to know about technology at Service High School (SHS), there is only one place to go - the man himself, Bill Corbett.

Bill Corbett is the tech guy at my school. His official title is Technology Coordinator. If you have a question about anything technology related, start with stopping by his office to pick his brain. In fact, unless it is a basic question regarding hardware availability or troubleshooting, this is the only place to go for information. His response to the question "Is there an ed tech plan for Service?" was a disbelieving chuckle and "you mean, like in writing?"

This no doubt sends shivers up the spines of all you anal retentive people out there, myself included. But by the end of the conversation I was completely at ease. Though no formal written plan exists, Corbett does have a clearly defined philosophy, and it is easy to see its fruition at Service. Click for more information regarding technology at SHS.

After completing this project, I feel extremely well-informed about the technological possibilities available at Service High. In fact, I venture to say I am more well-informed than most of the staff! I am extremely pleased with my new-found knowledge and feel this project was well worth my time.

Disclaimer: There are no links to anything written about SHS technology. This is not due to laziness on my part, this is because such pieces do not exist. Period. Anything available in writing is long-outdated, and thus extemporaneous to our purpose here.
