Ubiquitous computing is a factor impacting support. Using a computer on one's own time versus having to schedule time to use a computer is a real benefit and support to teachers and students. The teachable moment is indeed a key element in the support of computing. Support of educational technologies is a shared vision. Support from the administration within a school or school system in the form of a shared vision allows systemic change.
Administrators are in a prime position to lead by example in the use of technology.
Their use of technology and subsequent knowledge of technologies support the teachers and students in their endeavors with technology. Continuous and consistent training, as discussed earlier, is part of this vision and a successful support model. The vision must be shared by all- administrators, teachers, and technologists within the school systems. Every effort must be made to limit conflict between educators and technologists. Establishing standards also serves as a support mechanism.
