It is imperative to have the support of the administration as a school works to integrate technology. This needs to be a two way street.
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.
