Does Your District Need a Technology Audit?
By Howard Pitler
This article discusses what a technology audit is and how it would benefit school districts. A technology audit within a school district would be nothing but a benefit to the school. Audits are not inexpensive, but the cost will be well worth it when done. A technology audit will determine whether the network within the district is technologically efficient. After the audit is complete, suggestions on the processes that are being run within the district should be updated and improved. In the end, a technology audit will ensure that you are maximizing your technology dollars, and aligning your technology instruction with your curriculum, along with a well trained staff, and higher student achievement through technology.
What is a good technology audit?
A good technology audit would be used as an objective and independent tool, and would be used in a constructive manner.
What should you be aware of when choosing an audit service?
Be aware that the service is going to be expensive. Attempt to get the full comprehensive service to ensure that everything has been looked at. Make sure that the audit company is not making their company a one-stop-shop for all solutions. Your solutions should be processes to improve on instead of products.
