The Long-Range Plan for Technology has some extreme expectations when you look at the resources available in most school districts. About the time computers are installed and working efficiently, they are outdated. I realize my ignorance of the expectations. I saw the infrastructure changes taking place on my campus, but did not really know that there was a deadline for getting things updated and secure. I do know that, as an administrator, I must be willing to embrace the options for technology use and allow my staff the time needed to learn and implement them effectively. I think much more collaboration is needed where teachers who are skilled with certain equipment can train novices rather than wait for the district to offer another workshop that few attend for whatever reason. Teachers are more apt to want to do something they see someone else do rather than because they are forced to do it. My campus has made some progress, but has a long way to go. There are a few teachers who are attempting to integrate, but like me, it is still more of a novelty rather than the norm.
