The development of a district technology plan has to start somewhere. The components of creating a planning committee is an integral component of engaging stakeholders. The benefits of the investment in technology must be done and has to engage the people involved. The committee must build and create meaningful purpose that has a defined end goal.
After reading components of the following book, Successful Diversity Management Initiatives: A Blueprint for Planning and Implementation; By Patricia Arredondo, 1996, Sage Publications, I found that it was imperative to find information that would help to construct a purpose to developing a planning committee for a district wide technology policy.
The following statement is a great place to start when beginning the process of planning a document that I'm building. "To promote the concept and practice of diversity management is to support a new paradigm for present and future change based on cultural relativity, open-mindedness, reciprocity and continuous learning." (Arrendondo, 1996). The construction of district technology plan has all of these characteristics of diversity management and each piece builds on one another like a lego building block activity.
The components below will form the initial phase one of engaging stakeholders in my plan.
Planning Committee
The
Technology and Digital Pedagogy Action Plan Committee should represent all
stakeholders. Development of the educational
technology plan and implementation of the plan should enable parents,
educators, students and community members to benefit from the investment in
technology and all should have representation on the committee.

The committee must:

This description should include how committee members were selected and the role each is expected to play. Tentative plans for scheduling meetings for the next school year should also be included.
