MEDIA SERVICES PLAN

Auburn Career Center faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to use a variety of educational materials, audio-visual materials, Schoology, computers, Promethean Boards, network, and internet connection (“Network”) for educational purposes. There are dedicated computers for classroom use and in common areas, as well as laptop carts available to support instruction and student learning.

When using the Network, faculty, staff, and students must conduct themselves in a responsible, efficient, ethical, and legal manner. Unauthorized or inappropriate use of the Network, including any violation of these guidelines may result in disciplinary action. Prior to accessing the Network; students, faculty, and all staff must sign a Technology Agreement.

Ongoing technology support is provided to the faculty with individualized faculty training and technology support as needed. Please see the “Edutech” section on the next page.

Faculty will provide students with media services orientation within the first week of each class to ensure students have the appropriate access to the technology that will be used in the classrooms. The IT department is available for ongoing technology and training support when needed. Please see the “Edutech” section on the next page.

The District provides annual budgetary support for media services. Should you require additional technology or equipment for the classroom, please follow these steps:

	Prepare a request in writing addressed to the Director of Adult Workforce Education including the equipment requested, cost associated with the equipment/materials, and required timeline for implementation. The Director of Adult Workforce Education will review the request and make a recommendation to the Superintendent regarding the purchase.

There is an ongoing means of evaluating the effectiveness of media services and the utilization of the results to modify and improve media services.

1. The adult team will analyze the Edutech request pages and compare them to what has been accomplished and what is still in need of being done.
2. In addition, the goal of the team is to evaluate the plan with end of course surveys and discussions that take place with students throughout the program.
