Technology Planning - The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

This article, based on both academic research and practical experience, identifies common sins and challenges found in technology planning, and offers practical solutions.
 
National School Board Association Technology Planning Tools
"A new vision of technology’s place in education is required if teachers and students are to develop the skills necessary to meet the challenges of a high tech society. Today, technology changes too rapidly to allow school leaders the luxury of planning for the next decade; in this era, six months is an eternity. During that time companies are formed and dissolved, products are heralded and junked, the latest and greatest innovation arrives and becomes obsolete, and school administrators are inundated with technological innovations they must learn how to use and manage." - Education Commission of the States
