Technology Expectations
It is my opinion that it is imperative that all schools enlarge a Technology Vision Statement that reflects a shared vision for learning.
I recommend that principals, and other leaders of learning, be supported to actively lead the integration of technology in their schools.
All staff needs access to technical support that facilitates their effective use of computers.
A whole school approach to the integration of technologies which incorporate a range of strategies to actively involve the whole school community in the process of integration is the best approach.
 I recommend that teachers with advanced pedagogical skills, who already competently use technology to achieve existing curriculum goals, state standards, and benchmarks, be chosen for enhanced professional development that supports their use of technology based learning and develops their capacity to mentor colleagues.
Schools should be encouraged and supported to make provisions for mentors and mentored to work together on developing and co-teaching integrated curriculum ideas.
Teachers need to practice and attempt to describe in greater detail how they attempt to integrate learning with technology.  Teaching with technology should be embedded within a broader focus of quality teaching and learning that provides opportunities for teachers to reflect upon their approaches to teaching and the nature of learning.
