Amy E. Carter ET 650, Fall 2011 Internship Contract August 29, 2011 **Implementation of the Academic Leadership Academy Program at Chapin High School** **Supervisor:** Mrs. Margaret Adams, Head Media Specialist Chapin High School madams@lexrich5.org 803-575-5442

**The Internship Site**: I am completing my internship at Chapin High School, one of four high schools in Lexington/Richland District 5. My internship will have a dual focus: First, I will assist with the implementation of iPad technology into the Academic Leadership Academy (ALA). The ALA is made up of ten teachers across the curriculum and fifty freshmen students. Second, I will produce Web 2.0 training materials, model the use of Edmodo as a learning platform, and compile other best practices for my ALA colleagues to use with their iPads. Because the program just started this school year, my focus for helping with iPad implementation will be needs assessment, planning, policy creation, and beginning a support/sharing network for my ALA colleagues.

**Skills and knowledge to be learned during internship (Learning Objectives):**
 * Research the implementation of similar iPad programs and apply relevant methods to our own.
 * Define and help produce policies for iPad acceptable use in my school.
