1. Digital Conversion Granite School District and 21st Century Learning

2. Life Before the Steam Engine Before the invention of the steam engine people used the power provided by: ● animals ● wind ● water to farm, mill flour and transport goods and people from place to place.

3. Catalyst for Industrial Revolution The invention of the steam engine helped drive the Industrial Revolution which created new jobs for people and drew them to urban centers. Increased speed and power up to 5 times of what had been possible.

4. Best Practice By Implementing Next Practice Next practice is adopting a different way of doing things to meet changing needs.

5. Built on a Proud Tradition ●Education was built for the industrial model...although we have moved forward. ●The school system is still built for the industrial model. Back in the day that was the world of work. ●The world of work looks different so we need to adapt.

26. Project Red- 7 Key Findings The findings demonstrated that schools employing a 1:1 student-computer ratio and key implementation factors outperformed other schools and reveal significant opportunities for improving education return on investment (ROI) by transforming teaching and learning. Nine key implementation factors are linked most strongly to education. Properly implemented technology saves money. 1:1 schools employing key implementation factors outperform all schools and all other 1:1 schools. The principal’s ability to lead change is critical. Change must be modeled and championed at the principal level. Technology-transformed intervention improves learning. Online collaboration increases learning productivity and student engagement. Daily use of technology delivers the best return on investment (ROI).
