15	Question -
•	When will the 2015-16 Digital Curriculum Plan template be made available for districts?
Answer - The department is targeting to release the 2015-16 template by August 1,
2015.  Districts are encouraged to start now by collaborating with their DCP teams to confirm the digital learning overview and strategy for the district.

16	Question -
•	What are best practices that have emerged regarding the collection of Technology integration Matrix data across the district? Will the state be providing any professional development in that area?
Answer - The TIM is a critical element in monitoring and measuring the implementation of digital learning into the classroom. This year we saw many districts conduct training on the use of the TIM. Over the next year, the department will evaluate best practices and methods used in the districts and will publish the findings.

16	Question -
•	Will the state be providing any professional development regarding digital learning? Answer - The department is beginning training this summer in select districts on the principals of instructional design using digital tools (Project Optimize). Following the training, a limited number of software licenses will be available for school and district staff. Districts are encouraged to contact
Digitallearning@fldoe.org if interested in participating.

17	Question
•	How will districts report out on the outcomes of the Digital Classroom Plan? When will that format be available?
Answer - The Technology Resources inventory (TRI) opened for schools on April 27, 2015. The results from the Fall and Spring TRI will be used as the foundation for the DCP report that is due October 1. Department staff will be contacting districts as necessary over summer for additional details.

23	What does this mean?
•	Q: What are some of the best practices that have emerged regarding the classroom/school level implementation of CAPE Digital Tool certificates?
·	A: Data for CAPE Digital Tool certificates will not be available until fall 2015. Once we receive data from the districts, we will be able to follow up with the districts to determine best practices.
·	The Division of Career and Adult Education (DCAE) surveyed districts on their implementation of the 2014-15 CAPE Digital Tool certificates. The most utilized CAPE Digital Tool certificates in districts were Microsoft Office Specialist: Word, Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel and CT - Multimedia Essentials.

24	What does this mean?
•	Q: Will the state be providing any professional development regarding CAPE Digital Tool certificates?
•	A: DCAE provides ongoing technical assistance for CAPE Digital Tool certificates.
·	The current CAPE technical assistance paper can found at   http://www.fldoe.  org/core/fileparse.php/5398/urlt/CAPE-Act-TechAssist.pdf.
•	Email: industrycertification@fldoe.org for questions.

25	What does this mean?
•	Q:   Is it recommended that districts purchase CAPE Digital Tool Certificate exam licenses centrally to ensure equitable access for students?   If so, can the additional FTE generated be used for the purpose?
•	A:  Bulk purchasing often leads to a better per student price. DCAE recommends that your district CTE staff work with vendors of existing CAPE industry Certifications to leverage a better price. Yes, additional FTE generated from CAPE Digital Tool certificates may be used for this purpose.

26	CAPE Innovation Courses
•	Combine academic and career content with performance expectations that will result in college credit and industry certification attainment.
•	Include at least two third-party assessments, one of which is identified with an industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List.
