Because technology integration is profoundly constrained by the economy of time, space and money we promote the concept of Strategic Technology Integration.  Here are the 3 essential elements:

Software Suite Creation:  The essence of this recommendation is that schools make selections from each of seven categories (Trotter, 1999), creating a software suite to promote student experiences that meet the National Educational Technology Standards.  In each area there are commercial and non-commercial products that fill the niche.  The SMATE software library at Western Washington University catalogs and evaluates such software.

Time-Space Mapping: A school will also need to create a Time-Space Map that specifies where and when (courses and grades) students are offered the opportunity to incorporate the various tools into their learning.  This provides a framework to address access and scheduling issues for labs or clusters.

Faculty Specialization:  A natural out growth is a strategic staff development plan where specialties are developed by individual faculty.  This gives the sense of purpose  to skill development lacking when training is done on semi-arbitrary skills sets that frustrates and reinforces the cynicism of non-adopters. This also relieves the pressure on enthusiasts to try to adopt everything under the sun, allowing them to focus their own learning on technology enhanced curriculum development.  Such plans should take advantage of the interests and strengths of a faculty and maintain the flexibility and creativity that makes teaching rewarding.
