Technology needs to support the administration. This support can come in two flavors. One is for the people who are in charge of implementing the technology to be aware of the long range goals the administration has for the school and to coordinate the technology program so that it supports these goals. This requires a clear line of communication between the technology implementers and the administration. The other way that technology can support the administration is by using technology to administer the school.
Most schools have a computerized attendance and grading system.
Other network systems can be brought to bear on administrative problems. Networked e-mail and scheduling are two examples of a technology that can make an administrative team more efficient. It is possible to use the administrative team as the pioneers for this type of organizational use of technology, eventually applying these tools to teachers and students.
