2012-2013+Tech+Planning

NOTE to tech committee: I am posting this on 10/10/12. I need a little more time to improve on this but please go ahead and review the document below: ** 2012_STC_Fall_Workshoptech_Planning.doc .** I am posting this on 10/10/12. My goal is to have it done for your complete review by 10/15/12.

NOTE: revised and reposted on 11/25/12. Submitted to IT. Still accepting input.

I have determined some objectives for this year's technology plan based on the responses from the survey administered Spring of 2012. Right now we have 3 objectives. The goal is 3 to 5 objectives. Those objectives are correlated to specific question used in the survey (Please see the survey via the Excel spreadsheet located on the Wiki's home page). Those questions and our percentage scores are in the column titled **Impact Survey Score 2007-2012**. I still need to determine what to include in **Action Step to be taken in 2012-13**. The last two columns are not completed until May. So, how can you help? Updated version:
 * 1) See if you agree with the objectives. These are determined as weaker points that we can improve on. All objectives are listed below for your reference.
 * 2) Review the Impact Survey data for the data to back up the objectives. I tried to review the columns marked as being used once a day or more than once a week. You may see a weak point that I did not pick up on. Please bring it to my attention if you feel it is worthy of noting in our plan.
 * 3) Please brainstorm any ideas (for the Action Step column) on what more we can do to meet and exceed our objectives.
 * 4) The plan is due to be uploaded by 11/18/2012. I need your input no later than 11/9/12.
