Now What...

Greetings Community,

Each year funding cuts threatens education technology. As education braces for cuts, how will this affect education technology?

During the CUE conference, job security was on the minds of many fellow technology leaders. Program cuts, people getting cut— you name it! Buying a new software program or a service solution will only work if there is someone there to implement the program —to lead the process.

The questions that I present is...what can be done?

There are no right answer to that question at this moment. Just right directions. And that direction is onward.

As I brace for the worse in my district, my mind constantly races for a solution (The Power of the Brain!). A solution that will impact my district in a positive way.

What are you doing to prepare your district (students and teachers) for the possible absence of your role? How will you sustain the efforts of education technology as the state figures this one out? Are there solutions that we should be looking into to provide support for each other?

Please post your comments. I would like to know.
