**School Based Technology Goal:**
Staff will develop necessary skills for instruction of proper use of search engines for research. Demonstrate examples of proper use in classrooms. Collect feedback from staff.

The goal was shared with my staff at our November staff meeting. At that time, I informed the school staff that I would be making a smart board lesson that could be used in each classroom. By the end of November the lesson was completed and shared with the staff. They were given the option of working with their own classes or have me visit their classrooms to go over the lesson. The Grade 6 and 7 teachers have used the lesson with their classes successfully which has lead to many research projects being completed by students in these rooms. I have used it with my home room and have found that my class does research more effectively now.
