what problem are you trying to solve? for who? why is this the right problem? functional needs, technical needs, priorities, existing conditions, resources - time, people, money. development, implementation, documentation, training, support, evaluation, revision

four-step strategic thinking process * 1. clearly define your problem or challenge * 2. develop potential ideas to solve it * 3. evaluate them * 4. put the winning ideas into action

resources, processes, risks, partners and suppliers and the ecosystem

Questions, issues

  • technology tools and equipment, processes, skills. time. people. space. information
  • student management, tracking ?? driving technology, framework
  • unique student ids - 4 characters, B = 2012, 3 random http://www.random.org/strings/ numbers + uppercase - using online web services - protect student identity
  • administration imposed requirements, restrictions
  • permissions, student information - in multiple places, formats, access
  • library - web based free application ? permissions, information, ? use student identifier like Creekside
