**Welcome to the high school teacher's collaborative space for Cherokee County Schools!**
In this wiki, we will begin a new project with input from high school teachers to update the Technology Course of Study. The State Department adopted a new TCOS last summer and our district TCOS will need to match the state's. Your input is vital! If you don't participate, the project is doomed to fail.

What? - All about this project
The mission for this collaborative group of high school teachers is to complete a draft version of the new Technology Course of Study for grades 9-12. This document will include the new objectives from the state, suggested activities for each objective, implementation plans, and documentation that the objectives are being taught by every high school in the school district. Our document will include a scope and sequence.

How? - Instructions:

 * 1) Print and review the draft document that has been started (you can concentrate on the section for grades 9-12) - [[file:DRAFT_2008_CCBOE_TCOS.pdf]]
 * 2) Add your input (suggested activity, comments, implementation ideas, etc.) on each page for each objective, the introduction and overview, and the vocabulary list. Links to each page are in the left column of this wiki.
 * 3) Your ideas will be added to the main draft document and will be reviewed as it is completed.
 * 4) After many revisions, the draft will be presented to the Board of Education for adoption.

When? - Timeline:
February 9 - 27 --- Begin collaboration on the new objectives in this wiki - add your suggested activities, comments, ideas, etc. March 2 - 6 --- Review the completed draft with new suggestions and make adjustments as needed. March 9 --- Present the draft to Dr. Myrick for approval March 16 --- Add the objects for grade 9-12 to the current draft for grades K-8 (this will be the completed draft that will be presented to the Board of Education for adoption) Summer 2009 --- Present the draft document to the Board of Education for adoption
