I'm glad you find my blog interesting and observant. As for the lack of IT support, I somewhat agree with that. I believe schools need to hire more <strong>competent</strong> IT support staff. For instance, there are two IT people in my school. One knows what he is doing all the time, and can fix anything. The other person barely knows how defrag a hard drive. You can guess who gets payed more... the second one because of seniority. Having efficient, knowledgeable IT support is extremely important whenever deploying a new IT initiative in your school.

I would only like to add that the failure of the one to one intitiatives also can be due to lack of IT support within education. Often there is one support person for many many schools. Clearly, too much for one person to do, especially when the system multiplies # of units in one fell swoop. I was so pleasantly surprised when I left the classroom to be able to access an IT person for help in a matter of minutes, rather than waiting weeks. Hi,
