If you are an ACE Member or subscribe to Education Review you would have seen the article by Mark Sparvel “ The challenge is innovate or stagnate” where he classifies school conditions as ‘Lost in cyberspace; ‘Land of Opportunity’ or ‘Field of dreams’ and then articulates solutions that follow a DISCOVER; ANALYSE; PREPARE AND ENGAGE. The article lends tremendous support for the need of a ICT strategic plan that links to School wide planning.
If you haven’t seen it, I really recommend spending five minutes to read and 15 minutes to think about the information in the context of your school and your practice as leaders in motivating staff to embed technology in their learning and teaching practices. It may be worth sharing with members of your ICT Committee/Executive Team or beyond.

I love this last comment:
“So, in summary, good planning blends active leadership with transparent and inclusive processes across the school community. The planning should integrate ICT with the broader strategic and operational plans which deliver the core business of the school. Planning processes, if managed well actually built capacity and secure commitment from all stakeholders.”
