Abstract
For the effective integration of technology into school improvement models we will need carefully-crafted, flexible plans. These blueprints will need to be designed with a solid basis of curricular goals, a critical eye on research, and numerous points of analysis and formative evaluation which will allow for adaptation.
As an operational base, a broad definition of technology will be required to encompass current tools and emerging capabilities. In November of 1989, Dr. Clinton R. Bunke admonished attendees at the Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) Early Bird Workshop to not think in terms of "computer literacy," but in terms of "technological literacy." It seems that today we are thinking in terms of "Internet literacy" instead of "technological literacy." On the horizon are "immersive distributed virtual environments" (O'Neil, 1995a, p. 11). The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (1992) includes scientific and anthropological definitions. Those who create technology plans should consider both.
