All Pampa ISD professional staff will show technology proficiency in four of the following areas by June 30 of 2010.
- Outlook/Internet - Mandatory
- Microsoft Word - Mandatory
- Microsoft PowerPoint - Mandatory
- Microsoft Publisher - Choose one of these two
- Excel - Choose one of these two
The suggested timeline is:
- Word and E-mail/Internet certification must be completed by June 30, 2009.
- PowerPoint and either Excel or Publisher must be completed by June 30, 2010.
- Workshops, teaching skills aimed at the proficiencies, will be offered throughout the school year and summer.
- No one has to attend any workshops if they feel they already have the skills.
- Other technology classes besides Word and Outlook will be offered, as needed, for those already possessing those skills.
- The deadline for completion is June 30, 2010.
Method for submitting documents for proficiency approval:
- Proficiency submissions may begin anytime after you receive Office 2007 (sometime during the latter part of the summer).
- Each document submitted must address all proficiencies for that software.
- Since E-mail/Internet is "action" oriented, all examples will be by tutorial...link at top of page. Submissions will be actual e-mails to and from Lee Carter showing proficiency.
- Documents for all other proficiencies will be submitted, as attachments, to proficiencies@pampaisd.net.
- Select members of the Proficiencies Committee will approve or disapprove each proficiency.
