Interviews
Interviews are well suited to addressing the proposed questions. However, given the limited time and resources committed to this project, the interviews will necessarily be limited in number.
The selection of the interviewees will be guided by the respective research questions. In support of question one (state and district technology plans) the following people will be interviewed:
- a purposeful sample of five district technology coordinators
- a purposeful sample of five school based technology coordinators
- a designee from the Commission on Educational Technology
- a designee from the Nevada State Department of Education
Interviews
| District | Representatives |
|---|---|
| Clark | Jennifer Peterson, Loretta Asay, Pamela Jones-Jernigan |
| Washoe | Joe Elcano |
| Carson City School District | Janice Towns, LeAnn Morris |
| Lincoln County School District | Cody Christensen |
| Pershing County School District | Phillips Saeger |
| Douglas | Ji Wang |
| Storey | Jerry Atkins |
The sampling of technology coordinators was based in part on the size of the districts. Each district with a student population in excess of 50,000 was interviewed (2, Washoe and Clark). In addition two districts were randomly selected from those with a student population between 1,000 and 10,000 (Carson & Lincoln). One district was randomly selected from those with a student population between 1 and 1,000 (Pershing).
