Tech Planning versus School
Planning
Many K-12 leaders create separate
plans for technology and for the school/district
as a whole. While certain aspects of technology
warrant unique planning documents, the strategy of
engaging in a separate planning process for
technology is adding to the disconnect between
technology and the overall system. The creation of
tech plans for programs like e-rate and state tech
grants has, in many cases, been accomplished by
one or two technical individuals rather than a
group of stakeholders. Schools/districts that are
successful with technology have been those that
have approached technology as a tool to augment
system-wide plans. Until technology is seen as a
necessary part of the entire system, the true
integration of technology will not occur outside
of detached pockets. This means that technology
needs to be considered for administrative as well
as teaching/learning aspects of a school. The
National Ed-Tech Plan should address these issues
and model the appropriate
processes.
