 * 3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning**

I like to think that I am pretty technologically savvy. I have quite a bit of exposure to iPads on a personal level, but not on an educational one.
 * What can I do?**

I think it is so important for teachers to stay in tune with the latest teaching technologies. I believe it is a great way to keep students engaged and interested in the lessons.
 * Why is there a need?**

My main goal is to be better about finding ways to incorporate the iPads into my lessons.
 * Goals**

I will look through apps for 30 minutes a week to see what new ones have come out in the education section that could be used in my classroom.
 * Short Term Plan**

I will have at least one lesson a week involve using the iPads.
 * Long Term Plan**

I will know that I have completed my goal when I am so used to technology being a part of my curriculum that it is no longer something I really have to think about, but I automatically find ways to use it.
