Technology Integration Strategic Planning ePortfolio

I used to think strategic planning for technology integration didn't involve much, but I also haven't been directly involved in it before despite working in educational technology for well over ten years now in higher education.

Strategic Planning for technology integration is an important and involved process when working with academics and preparing to integrate new technologies. There are also a number of people to include in the process including educators, administrators, technology specialists, etc. In addition, I learned of the importance of including data such as the STaR chart and the other tools that schools/districts are using these days to assess a school's/district's technology readiness as well as other areas of importance with the faculty and students where technology integration is concerned. The strategic planning process involves things such as creating a vision and mission statement and then creating priority goals and action plans with strategy or strategies necessary to achieve and measure those goals. Overall, I have learned that implementing a school/district's strategic plan for technology integration is an important process to know about in order to assist other educators in successfully achieving such imperative remote technology post-two-year pandemic times we have all experienced with teaching and learning with our students. This is a process that is valuable and important to know all about and obtain skills in assisting with when implementing technology integration in 2022 classrooms and moving forward.
