Effective technology plans have to be able to reach all students equitably regardless of income. This is a large social issue. This is one of the harder barriers to overcome. However, if it is recognized by the cross-team of people, solutions can be found. Flexibility - Technology is changing at a rapid pace.
Schools tend to behind the times because of basic finances.
The technologies that are put in place today must not limit the school in the future. Schools must avoid spending large amounts of capital on technologies that cannot be built upon with newer technology. The more you cement your foundation today, the more costly to change in the future. Ongoing maintenance - Effective plans need to include the regular upgrading of workstations, networks, server and management software. Funding - This is another section of any effective technology plan.
