Marion Technology Plan

[]

The Marion School District Technology Plan is a comprehensive document that covers the required aspects of a technology and library plan. However, the plan and reality do not match.

Problems that I see: none of the planned infrastructure was implemented The budget does not match what is actually spent The use policy seems overly restrictive to students in terms of technology access. There are better ways of addressing misuse aside from removing students from the computer for up to one year at a time.

Strengths Marion has a strong team to meet and discuss technology The plan is well written and contains necessary components The 8th grade assessment plan and student portfolio is well thought out

My recommendation is to get the team and the administration/school board on the same page so that the vision may be realized.
