Technology

Introduction
Integrating school district technology as a part of the teacher communication experience, with the shared educators and the rest of the academic community is an effective way of using technology within a region.

This paper will highlight how such technology will be implemented at the Gavilan View Middle School. It will first give an overview of how email registration and usage by the faculty will be ensured followed by a guideline for faculty as to how they can register.

Technology Plan
Under this plan, all teachers of Gavilan View Middle School are required to have a personal school email ID. That all teachers have a school email ID and use it will need to be ensured. Basically, each teacher will be given an email ID by the district office based on the information they provide to the admin.

Each teacher has a unique teacher identification number or TID number. When registering or when required to enter information, teachers will be required to type this in as a mandatory requirement in the user registration form. The registration form will ask for a TID number, name and surname. On the back end, the teacher identification number or the TID that a teacher entered will be matched with the actual TID in the Teacher Table of the school database. If the match is successful (if the entered TID is the same as the actual TID), and other requirements are met, the teacher will be allowed an email ID.

In simpler words, there will be a web page where teachers can sign in to their email. On the same page, there will be a sign up option for those teachers who havent registered yet. This sign up option will take the teachers to the user registration form that will be linked to the school database, like in hotmail, or any other email system. In this registration form, teachers will be required to enter their TID number, along with other information, name and surname. Whatever information they give will be entered in the database. Based on this information, the district office will provide them with an email id and password.

Entering of the teacher identification number will allow the system to see which teachers have registered and which ones havent. For example, teachers who have signed up have been marked in the database as teachers who have an email id. Those who have not can be sent automatically generated notifications by the system as a reminder to register for an email ID. This same method will also be used to ensure usage of the email, in addition to registration. For our purpose, usage of the email ID is the same as registering for an email ID because why then a teacher would register for an email ID if she does not wish to use it.

The way teachers can register for the school email ID is simple. The instructional guide is as follows
1. Visit  HYPERLINK httpwww.gavilanview.org httpwww.gavilanview.org
2. Click on Staff Information
3. Click on Remote Email
4. Find and type in username. Each username is the first letter of a teachers name followed by the surname.
5. Find and typee in password.

The username, together with password, will be provided by the district office. This cannot be changed or altered. If teachers cannot seem to locate them, or have a problem of another kind, they can call up the district office and ask for Mr. Mark Young for further assistance.

Moreover, the interface is illustrated in Figure 1.
