Equity throughout the district... Same issue rears its' ugly head in each of our districts. As we complete a district wide technology audit the question of how to achieve equity in all schools throughout seems daunting- new schools have all the newest hardware ranging from document cameras, ceiling mounted projectors, new lap top labs, all new computers, etc... Meanwhile, older schools may not have a single document camera and older computers. With tremendous disparity between fund raising capabilities at the higher SES schools compared to the lower SES ones, differences in prioritization at the building administrative level, and differences in existing infrastructure and equipment conditions, it is an amazing task to move a school district toward technological equity.
While we didn't arrive at the answers, the discussion was interesting. Thanks go out to Steve for taking the time to share with us... BTW- NCSD has its' Director of Technology Services position open and posted.
