LongRangeTechPlan

Long Range Technology Plan Subcommittee Workspace

Our strategy is to read through our current plan and to highlight areas where we have questions or comments. We invite all committee members to review it as well.

To get to the plan, go to the technology page on the district site and click on the plan link. page: [] plan: []

We also copied the current tech plan into a google doc where we can all edit it and drop in comments

We are also going to browse technology plans from other school districts. If we find them to be exemplary, we will share links here. That way, our comments will reflect our research.
