**__Description__**: We were asked to create a technology initiative based on our school's needs. The technology initiative that I chose to propose was the installation of SMART boards in all the classrooms K-8. We were asked to use PB works to write how we would implement our technology initiative. My initiative was named the "SMART Classroom".


 * __Process__**: I chose my technology initiative based on the growing school I work in along with the multiple learners that attend Brandywine Springs. IN order to complete this assignment research needed to be done on the benefits and cost of SMART boards. After doing the research, I created a needs statement and a vision statement. I then created a needs survey that was administered to 20 staff members asking 3 questions. Based on the results of the survey and the help of committee a budget and timeline was planned. The solution to this is to apply for a Grant and with the help of the PTO Smart boards will be in place sometime in the next 2 years.


 * __Reflection:__** This project was a great learning experience. It was something I have never done before. I feel that one day this is something I could propose. The process to write the initiative was difficult and time consuming however an educating experience. I hope to one see it through that there are SMART boards in every classroom. It is not only beneficial to students but teachers as well.
