Many books will be written about the latent effects COVID-19 and
the response the pandemic will have on our community. Some of the
impacts were immediate and obvious, like the forced move to
distance learning, and the struggles, schools and families
experienced. The most important factor is that school
administrators must recognize that teachers and students need more
than equipment and internet access. Fast Track to Online Learning
describes, in detail, how schools and school districts must adopt a
process for the development of advanced curriculum. Curriculum that
focuses on critical thinking and leverages the technology to work
in distance- and hybrid-learning models - what the author calls
Tier 4 Curriculum (T4c).

scope, time, and budget. This book is focused on project planning
and project management of IT projects in the education realm.This
book provides the most streamlined methods for defining,
developing, documenting, and executing any Education Technology
project. It provides the methods to insure integrity and accuracy
in the planning phase, and control and communication in the
execution phase. It defines how projects start and end, and all the
milestones and control points in the middle. And it details how you
can execute it all. After reading this book, you will have the
methods, templates and examples, in order to deliver successful
Education Technology projects, but more importantly, this book will
give you the insights of how to become a successful Education
Technology Project Manager.

FAIL TO PLAN, PLAN TO FAIL is a book for Education Technology
professionals who understand that Ed Tech projects are complex and
costly, and therefore must be planned and managed just like any
other large-scale project. Oftentimes Education Technology
professionals move straight from naming an initiative, such as "1
to 1 computing, or BYOD" right into implementation, without taking
into consideration the necessary infrastructure, bandwidth and
capacity. These requirements may double or even quadruple the
overall expenditure. But in recent decades, with the massive call
for classroom technology, the large-scale technology programs that
have made the news have been huge failures, and have wasted
millions of taxpayer dollars, taking some superintendents with
them. What is the key to avoiding these failures, and how can you
insure that it doesn't happen to your school? The key is planning
and project management. Education Technology Strategic Planning is
the subject of this book. It provides a detailed process, called
MAPITTM that guides the planner through five phases for developing
your school's Ed Tech Strategic Plan: Needs Identification, Needs
Analysis, Recommendations, Feasibility and Implementation.

Confucius in the Technology Realm is a ground-breaking new approach
to the dynamic world of Education Technology. In this work, the
author has decided to soften on structure and focus on art - to
take a philosophical approach to the planning and management of the
chaotic and ever-changing realm of Educational Technology - what
would Confucius think about Ed Tech? But while providing a method
of inquiry for philosophical guidance, the book is also meant to
reinforce the ethereal concepts with real-world, Ed Tech examples.
The ultimate objectives of impacting student learning and
achievement and mastery of philosophical self-discipline becomes
one and the same - thus, the Tao of Education Technology may be
seen as Confucius' viewpoint, helping identify the path to
transcending the organization's people, policies, and processes to
attain a state where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
- where the education technology infrastructure and operational
support structure are ingrained and embodied within the
organization as a whole.
