**No More Pencils, No More Books, How Should 21st Century Learning Look? The Promise of Digital Content**
Henrico County Public Schools Gaynell Lyman, Debra Roethke [] []

this is being done as a replacement for textbooks

they got a grant to fund the courses being created they are creating content ahead (create 2nd 6 wks content during 1st 6 wks) $10,000 being paid to teachers who are helping create the digital content they are paying for excellent 21st century content - they are sending it back to teachers if it doesn't meet the criteria on the pay structure rubric

working with ITRTs to create digital content CWRA performance assessment - understanding by design, performance based tasks, "do" the task in a real world setting getting more people involved in content creation is better rather than just one person creating for all to use they are using google docs for collaborative features itrts/teachers - they are looking at using WordPress as the container (my 2 cents - use Moodle)

review process: ITRT reviews for 21st tech integration content specialist for content Central for final approval

ITRTs will probably be highly involved with making sure that curriculum stays up-to-date, links work, etc.

performance tasks are supposed to be 1 day activities administrator buy-in - reflective friends Creative Commons - they will put everything online to share

they are trying to create all of their curriculum themselves so that they don't have to worry about losing it - can't renew subscriptions (United Streaming etc)

$200,000 to pay for 40 courses - grant
