🔴 Google Innovator Project:
Make contact with target school principal regarding:
Pitch to outline the project
Platform: Google Sites for collaboration, portability, sustainability and the ability to track traffic. Also a great opportunity to role model its uses and features.
Contact with Users: Innovator challenge shared with diocesan director who filtered the list of 47 schools down to 8 schools. Discussions and reviews of school annual plans filtered down to one school. Make initial contact with school principal with a brief overview, phone chats and video conference meet up with school leadership team, school visits to provide targeted support for the initial group of tech-savvy teachers who can empathise and define the need for Digital PD Library.
Testing phase: Website draft to be reviewed by initial group of tech-savvy teachers (to be identified as TST) to ideate, suggest improvements on the prototype
