What's Next?

I've spoken to several people in the know in my district and am hopeful that I can convince them that our technology needs to be improved (that's the easy part). The question is how to improve our technology and not have it cost the district much money (that's the hard part).

I'm going to begin searching for grants to help pay for funding. I'm hoping that I can post my progress and thoughts here, just to help me keep my sanity.

Some changes could be made simply by loosening the restrictions to websites that are available to the staff. Assigning usernames and passwords to every student in the district could challenging since we have only two people who take care of everything that deals with technology. Our middle school has a tech person (who teaches computers in the classroom) but even she has limited capacities when it comes to making changes. She tells me that she has fought these battles before with some slight progress. I plan to utilize her expertise and previous experiences to help pick and choose the people and battles that lay ahead.

Wish me luck!
