Additional technology staffing
the re-establishment and revitalizing of a tech committee and revision (and re-Vision) of a Tech Plan
shared SIS
shared communication structure (email and phone system)
greater google presence (all students and staff with gmail and gdocs/apps)
ideally, an improved communications backbone (phone systems)
greater access for videoconferencing (tanbergs) which improves distance learning and digital learning
most importantly, greater end-user support
improved filtering
synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning
