1.0 Problem Analysis
1.1 What is your systems of interest?
As a member of the digital learning team I am interested in teaching DeKalb
County teachers how to use the learning management system Verge to
effectively create an assignment for their students. I also will like furthest event
which in this case are the teachers of DeKalb County to effectively integrate
VERGE in weekly lessons.

1.2 What are the sub- systems?

Background Knowledge
The teachers have used Verge in In the past to create virtual learning assignments
for inclement weather days they have also developed technology goals and
created assignments. The goal of the school district and the school is to encourage
teachers to use Verge on a daily basis versus only when instructed by DCSD.

Resources Available
All of the teachers have desktop in their classroom and they all have a personal
Chromebook. All of the students in grades second through fifth have one to one
Chromebooks.

Abilities of Students

1.3 What symptoms drew you to this system?

I was drawn to the systems because of our technology plan and speaking to
colleagues about their need for professional development for VERGE.According
to the data many teachers struggle with using VERGE because they say that it is
not user-friendly or student friendly. The instructional technologist for the region
collected data and the data show that the school McLendon Elementary I need it
more professional development to implement assignments on the virtual platform.

3.0 Needs Assessment

3.1 Optimal
3.1.1 What data would you collect?
I will collect data from the teachers creating assignments using Verge.
3.1.2 How would you collect that information and data?
I would collect that data Two weeks from the professional development day.
I will collect it by asking for instructional technologist of the Regent to
 access everyone's Verge account and make sure they created the
assignments. I will also give a survey at the end of the professional
development to ensure that the teachers understand the task are
proficient in creating assignments in VERGE.

3.2 Actual
3.2.1 What data would you collect?
I would Survey the teachers immediately from the professional development and
I will also touch basis with the instructional technologist to ensure the
teachers are creating the assignments and they are posted in Verge .
3.2.2 How would you collect that information and data?
I will collect that information by using a survey a pencil paper survey and
would also collect the information from the regional instructional
technologist.
3.3 What are the discrepancies between current (actual) and desired (optimal)?
One training is simply not enough To expect to exist to be proficient in the skill The
teachers need ongoing support for the task.
3.4 What priorities can you assign to the identified discrepancies or goals?
I will use observational data in lieu Due to a limited amount of time I will also used
discourse during the lesson to ensure goals are being met.
