We are rewriting the district technology plan this summer. We intend to include representatives from various stakeholder groups, but they have varied backgrounds and their grasp of technology use in schools varies widely. Are there up-to-date tools we can use to help these groups better understand the unique challenges of designing a technology plan for educational use?

The planning topics include: determining needs, choosing technology solutions, implementation, security, maintenance, and professional development.
