First Day of School---Getting a Technology Plan Started

After the dust settles from the first few days of school, it is a good time to start organizing your site technology committee. Selecting the proper stakeholders is key to the success of any planning committee. Who are the stakeholders that you would want to invite?

Hey Nancy,

I would start with the media specialist, prinicipal, and a teacher from each grade level. It would also be very helpful to have a couple of key parents on board. Perhaps the principal need not be on the committee if s/he trusts the staff and understands committee decision making!

George,

It has been my experience that principals often pass this off to their assistant principals. There are general two reasons: principals lack the technology knowledge and they do not have the ability to commit to the time investment required. However, when principals are involved, technology programs within the school are much more effective. I wonder what others take on the stakeholders?
