SMART Goal(s)

S--My overarching goal is to integrate technology + pedagogy in the English classroom. I am specifically interested in collaboration and would like to:
“Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual
understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes”—ISTE standard 1 (http://www.iste.org/docs/pdfs/nets-t-standards.pdf?sfvrsn=2)

M—I see this being measurable in 3 ways:
       1) have students collaborate not using collaborative tools and survey them about their
           conceptual understanding
       2) have students collaborate by using collaborative tools and survey them about their
           conceptual understanding
       3) look at scores over time to measure student growth (conceptual understanding)

A—I feel this is attainable as long as I have the year to do this and focus on 1 grade level. I feel at this point I would like to focus on grade 9, but it might be more appropriate for grade 10 (might need some advice here)

R—I feel this is realistic in that it is joining technology pedagogy and best practices. The elements are there, but I want the interaction to be greater and to see why and how it makes a difference.

T—This can be timely in two ways: either I do this throughout the course of the year so that I add in 1 collaborative tool per unit. Or I can ensure that one unit is enhanced with many ways of collaboration and only study this for the duration of the unit (would like some advice here as well)
