Teck Check - Goal Three - Extensive Resources

For a number of years, I've used a set of simple checklists to help districts begin conversations about the "state of the state" of their technology implementations.
Based on five long-term goals I first articulated in the article, Maslow and Motherboards: Tech Planning, Multimedia School, Jan/Feb 2003, I update these checklists in a regular basis. Over this next week, I'll do so once again. Your comments are welcome (and invaluable).
At the end of the week, I will provide a link to a shared GoogelDrive folder that contains all these checklists as templates under CreativeCommons license.
Goal Three - Extensive Resources
Technology will be used to provide the most current, accurate, and extensive information resources possible to all learners in the district and community in a cost effective and reliable manner at maximum convenience to the user. |
