The document discusses plans to create a technology-rich school district. It proposes conducting a two-day conference called I-Teach to build support and develop a common vision among staff. Next, it recommends performing a readiness assessment including an equipment inventory and infrastructure analysis. Finally, it suggests obtaining additional training and equipment, and implementing personnel and technology changes in stages due to budget limitations.

Project RED: Revolutionizing Education found that currently California has the smallest percentage of "ubiquitous (one to one computing) computer programs for their students" in the United States. The greatest percentages are in South Dakota, Maine and Wyoming. "Project RED researchers began by creating a database of high-tech schools that all have roughly the same number of computing devices as students." There is an average of 5.4% of schools with ubiquitous computing, which affects just 4% of students. http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/index.cfm?i=60444 Current Research on 1:1

- 14. Hold a two day I-Teach conference for each staff to work on flexibility, change and collaboration before implementing the IMPACT Model. Utilize the county convention center to have all staff present. Each school group will rotate through sessions held by experts in the IMPACT model, technology facilitators, system operators, and trained teachers. Provide teachers with meals, snacks and prizes to make I-Teach an enjoyable experience. Throughout the conference participants will be guided to create system wide technology and vision plans.
