notes:

Best practices when writing a strategic plan. Build flexibility How do you test new tech? - add money for exploration of emerging technologies come up with a common vision Make sure all teachers are on the same page Speak to how you implement new technology find the bright spots and talk to those individuals Keep it broad (supports mobility, connectivity) Write it to support personnel change Include professional development budget that is tech specific (for tech individuals and teachers) - Bring in outside tech professionals. Continue PD on going at whatever intervals the budget allows. Support innovation. Suggest leadership think-tanks Make it a living document

Include disaster recovery plan Insist that it is reviewed every year or two.
