What is it?
A technology plan, whether created on a districtwide or schoolwide level, must constantly be evaluated and revised to meet the changing demands of the school community and innovations in technology. A static plan will quickly become outdated and have little meaning. School leaders must ensure that technology planning is viewed as a dynamic process that is fundamental to the daily activities of the school.
Questions to Think About:
- How can you leverage your technology funds to find ways to cover more than initial hardware and software costs? (Check out what our panel has to say about this specific question.)
- How do school leaders determine the effectiveness of their technology plans?
- What are the key components of a technology plan?
- How do school leaders identify priorities that must be addressed in a technology plan?
- Where can you find support in understanding complex issues related to technology purchasing and funding? Whom can you ask?
- How do you sustain a technology initiative as well as necessary funding?
