Implementation Outline

The way I invision my plan is as follows.

My plan needs at least 1 year to be fully integrated and one more year to expand it through the campus.

Next there is a table where I explain how the 1^st year will look like. As it can be seen, the 1^st year is more student focuse. It is the learning curve for students and for me. During this 1^st year, I can learn from my mistakes and successes.

By the 2^nd semester, the 2^nd part of my innovation plan will start taking place. I want to take baby steps. Therefore, I will invite my colleague Mr.s Johnson to observe my classroom and to interact with my students. This way, she will be able to learn and see what she can use and implement in her classroom for the next school year..

Here is how my plan will look like.

Required materials: enough Apple iPads where every classroom student club student can have and use their own device without the need of sharing them.
Number of iPads requested:
- 1^st year: At least 25. I teach two 25 classes. With 25 iPads I will be able to share iPads with my classes and my code club. But exist a very high risk that work and documents can get deleted. Even personal school accounts and data might be compromised.
- 2nd year. Ipads for my hallway teachers
- 3^rd year. Ipads for 6^th grade
- 4^th year. Ipads for the whole school

Introduction to robotics using Swift Playgaround to apply knowledge to SpheeroBolts, Meebot, Dash	Both	1^st	On going
Introduction to coding by blocks	Club	1^st	On going
Integrate learning into the TEKS by using different apps and create Keynote presentations, iMovie, Clips among others	In Class	1^st	On going

Present their project	Class	2^nd	Pending
Invite a teacher to observe my class	Class	2^nd	Pending
New teacher trying a digital environment calls	Class	2^nd	Pending
New teacher implementing coding into her instruction

Requirements to success:

In order for this plan to success and can be implemente school wide successful there are some needs that need to be met. Besides the devices, we need:

Apple IDs
Constant tech support. For security reasons, many digital devices are locked or have limited access to specific things. Sometimes, some of these locks need to be open in order to integrate the idea for the day. Therefore, the need for tech support.
Training for new teachers from the district.
