And now as we bask in the afterglow of all our connecting and applying, we can sit back and begin to reflect on the whole experience. For your reflecting pleasure we have a genuine technology plan, a URL, and an idea or two.
Success Stories
Look at these examples of school vision statements and post a reflection on the EDTEC 596 Newsgroup reflecting on the following:
- To what extent do these various vision statements seem to
reflect real educational needs rather than superficial
"technology wants."
- How general, or specific, are these vision statements? Do
they tend to be vague "anyone could agree" type statements, or
are they fairly specific about where the organization is
headed?
- Is there evidence of participation by a broad cross-section
of stakeholders?
- Is there anything you noted in these statements that might be of interest to stakeholders in your own district? Can you "steal" something from someone else's vision.
Examples:
You'll find the vision statement in the Introduction section of this Cleveland School's Technology Plan.

Further reflection:
Once you have a well-focused vision there are other ways to reflect on it. If you have a family try stating your vision one night at dinner and seeing what the response is. Not only is this sure to bring up new thoughts and ideas, but by explaining your vision to as many people as possible you further focus your vision in your mind.
