Implementation+Plan

=Establish Leadership Team=
 * Before the end of the first six weeks, establish a Technology Leadership Team consisting of one member from each faculty department, one para-professional, one administrator, one parent, and one community member.
 * This 10 member team is responsible for
 * assessing the needs of the digital community,
 * setting appropriate goals for the year,
 * evaluating current guidelines and establishing new ones,
 * implementing new programs,
 * and monitoring the overall progress of the learning community.
 * This team will meet once each six weeks.

=Assess Community Status=
 * The team will complete Mike Ribble's Digital Citizenship Audit 2 in order to assess the current status of the digital community and the needs that need to be addressed.
 * After the audit, the team will review the results of the assessment using the accompanying scoring guide. 3
 * Once scores have been determined, the team will discuss any low scores on the audit and select specific areas for improvement based on these needs. 4

=Predict Future Needs=
 * At the same meeting, the team will analyze the community in connection with each of Mike Ribble's Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship. 5
 * Digital Access
 * Digital Commerce
 * Digital Communication
 * Digital Literacy
 * Digital Etiquette
 * Digital Law
 * Digital Rights and Responsibilities
 * Digital Health and Wellness
 * Digital Security
 * By reviewing the status of the community in each of these areas, the team can make valid predictions on needs the community may experience in the future and make plans now based on those predictions.
 * The team will prioritize these needs and select the ones that should be acted upon during this school year.

=Select Goals and Design Program=
 * Using both the goals pertaining to the current needs determined by the audit and the review of potential needs based on an analysis of each element, the team will determine specific goals with the following items in mind:
 * Each goal must address a need discovered and prioritized during the assessment and prediction phase.
 * Each goal must include a specific timeframe for completion.
 * After the goals have been established, an action plan for each goal must be developed. 6 Each action plan must include the answers to the following questions:
 * Who is responsible?
 * What resources are available?
 * What resources need to be added?
 * What training is necessary?

=Marketing and Communication=
 * The Digital Leadership Team will promote the Digital Citizenship Plan through its website and regular progress update emails to all stakeholders.
 * The Leadership Team Website will designate one page for each goal and its action plan. After each meeting, each action plan will be updated in order to provide transparent information for stakeholders.
 * A email will also be sent out including specific progress highlights.
 * The website will also feature resources and training opportunities as they relate to each of the goals for the current year. Faculty and staff may register for training opportunities directly from the website.
