Digital Strategy or Technology Plan


 

What is a Technology Plan?

A technology plan describes a school’s investment in and use of technology and how it will affect operations. 

What is a Digital Strategy?

A digital strategy sets up goals and objectives for how technology will be implemented and used as part of achieving those goals. 


What are the Unique Needs of My School?

The school is mainly comprised of students from the urban community in which the school is located. Many of these students lack the basic needs of children. Some therefore have no devices of their own, internet or electricity with which to participate in online activities at home. A plan for the integration of technology should therefore focus on the needs of students, teaching and learning goals and how the technology can be used to achieve such goals.

The mission of the school also highlights our focus on reaching students with differing interests, abilities, learning styles and economic and social backgrounds. A digital strategy is therefore more prudent than a technology plan  for our school since the digital strategy focuses on our specific goals and how technology can be integrated to achieve such goals. The digital strategy places emphasis on teaching, learning and assessment.

By considering our goals and exploring the current situation of the school we were able to devise the vision for the future.

The following questions were considered when creating the digital strategy: 

  • How will technology help us to achieve our goals? 

  • Where can we innovate and improve? 

  • What should we prioritize?
