After meeting with my principal Friday afternoon, my action plan chnged in some aspects. Instead of our original plan of purchasing netbooks for older grades and tablets for the younger, we met with a few salespeople from a company to hear about their particular product. My principal then met with the other administrators in our district to discuss monies. After her meeting we were able to look at a specific direction, from there this is where we went.
