No plan exists to allocate technology resources to maximize the impact on teaching and learning. Location of existing technology resources is based on past use, initial program purchase, or personal request. Few, if any, teachers have expressed an interest in a change in the allocation of the technology resources Some discussions have occurred to design an allocation and replacement schedule to support constructive use of technology in the classroom, labs, and media center. For example, a school technology team is studying the current allocation of technology resources and the related allocation policies. A plan is being implemented to allocate the existing technology resources for maximum use and impact on student learning.
Work is in progress to design an allocation schedule for future purchases and routine upgrades.
Individuals are identified to be responsible for maintaining this allocation process. School staff has input on allocation of existing and new technology resources. Limited access to the technology resources is available to the school staff during school hours and from school locations. Discussions may be occurring on extending access, from off-school sites and beyond the school day. A group of school staff is testing access to school technology by checkout and by telecommunications after school hours and from homes.
