I had a meeting today to review the current state of our 5-year technology plan, a curriculum driven technology implementation forecast. It actually went quite well. This collection of documents has been in the works since the beginning of the year and there’s still work to be done on it, but we’re definitely over the hump.
My role has been recording our technology history and current status, making a needs assesment, infrastructure goals, technology assistance plan, and implementation plan. The implementation plan has been the most difficult because it involves predicting the future based on current technology and cost evaluation coupled with curriculum needs in the next 5 years.
Hopefully I’ve helped you meet your ‘read big words’ quota for the day.
