Is new IT Specialist's vision for technology the same as administrator's vision? How is technology already being used in school? What has been done with those who are reluctant? Are they required to use technology by school, district, etc?

 TIME to plan and implement technology into an already full schedule is and will always be an issue! Teachers feel as if it is one more thing for them to have to get done and the ITS needs to help with time management and technology as much as possible. Some teachers don't know how to use technology effectively or as well as their students.  Terrible attitudes towards the technology and do not know how to use it themselves. Lots of complaining!!

There seems to be some accountability issues with the teacher--why was she not at the meeting? Was it mandatory? Did the administrator back the ITS on the training?  In the first scene, the teacher "lost" his students when he was unable to use the active board. This is the age of our students and we have to work harder to keep up with them and keep them motivated.

 Why is it a good ideas for teachers to talk to each other about the years events?

 How did the year really go? What changes are need for next year? Do they keep it the same? Did they meet AYP? Will the budget allow the school to keep the ITS?
