What is it?

Many stakeholders are affected by the integration of technology in schools; therefore, it is imperative that all audiences be identified and involved in the process. Creating and communicating your vision requires that you understand how educational technology impacts each audience and why it is important to each. When the vision is expressed in ways that are meaningful, stakeholders are more likely to share in the vision.

Questions to Think About:

  • How do you convince stakeholders that technology expenditures are a good investment with big returns on that investment?

  • What information regarding curriculum, instruction, school management, and learning technologies will lead to increased buy-in?

  • What steps should you take in your school or district to address new information literacy skills necessary for today's workforce?

  • How will innovations in educational technology impact pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment? How will these innovations impact the basic organization of schools, such as building use, scheduling, and the division of the school day?
