Unfortunately, as a district gets mired in complacency, the technology, and culture, continues on without them.

It's a great question and one that I've had to answer as an assistant superintendent for instruction.

I used to believe that "Content is King" and prided myself in trying to get as much material covered as possible. Now I realize that content is ubiquitous, what we do with it is much more important.

many districts who have been increasing the use of technology in the classroom steadily over the past ten years, yet their test scores remain static.

Beyond the economy, a more disheartening line of logic is being taken to trim back. Where is the increase in student achievement? We can stop and discuss at length exactly what student achievement means, but the fact remains, society's perception and opinions are quite clear on this issue. To the general public, student achievement is most often measured and manifested as test scores. We could have yet another discussion on the merits and deficits the economy of test scores creates, but many don't have that leisure when addressing the issue in front of the highest decision makers in their district.

I believe we as a community of technology users and advocates must have a salient response. If you haven't been asked this question directly, don't be surprised if that time comes sooner rather than later. And your response could have a great impact on the future learning experience for the students you serve. I'm aware the question, and potential response, might seem almost too simplistic, but pause and reflect how you would honestly answer should the question be posed to you. I don't think crafting a response is as easy at it might first appear.
