So, with a click of a button a fourth-grade teacher would know, this is what I have to teach, this is how I teach it, and here are some valid assessments. We re also going to use Domino to put an annual calendar on the Web for the whole district. With so many activities going on, this would help students, teachers and parents with their schedules. But to succeed with technology, every district needs a superintendent with a vision of how technology can make a difference. And that vision needs to be shared and made to happen no matter what.
Budget can t be an issue or excuse.
Try to bring in the entire community, use business partnerships to leverage your resources, apply for grants to make things happen. When picking a Web platform, be sure you understand the vendor s vision. Many vendors provide only part of the solution, or require you to integrate multiple applications to create Web, e-mail, calendar and workflow solutions. Domino has worked so well for us because it met all our needs in a single, integrated solution. Finally, start with the students.
