The magic formula for technology failure?

by | Jan 11, 2014 | Leadership and Vision, Tech Integration | 4 comments

I’m cleaning out my home office and I found this note I hastily scrawled while traveling somewhere:

Lack of vision + inadequate infrastructure + no training + poor implementation + insufficient ongoing support + refusal to change = tech success!

Does this sound like your wishful school or district? Hope not!

    On a serious (not tongue-in-cheek) note, your equation reminds me of this incredibly useful matrix of equations I’ve had on my wall for the last six months.
