6. “Digital Disconnect” “While students relate examples of both engaging and poor instructional uses of the Internet assigned by their teachers, students say that the not-so-engaging uses are the more typical of their assignments.”

35. Fundamental Questions What are the Board’s priorities and commitment to providing necessary resources required to enable a makeover of the Organization, Navigation, and Graphic Design of the District’s primary Website? Will the District adopt a system that enables dynamic content on the various Website Pages to be directly maintained by a broad set of authorized individuals? Will the District Website incorporate structured design and navigation templates?

36. Fundamental Questions If some or all of the first three elements are adopted, will the District just enable all schools to use this structure, or will such use be a mandate? To what degree will the District enable or encourage related entities to use this structure? (e.g., booster clubs, PTAs, etc.) What is the District’s policy with regard to Web 2.0 Resources? More specifically, what position will the Board take with regard to supporting Web Resources with essential functions that rely on end-user contributions and participation?

37. Thank You!
