ICT Strategic Plan Guidelines
The ICT
Strategic Plan template is designed to assist schools
in the development of an ICT school plan.
An ICT Strategic Plan is a requirement for all schools participating
in Round Two Applications for the National Secondary School
Computer Fund.
It links the elements from Digital Education – making
change happen framework to the Key Result Areas that schools
are required to report against in the DEET Accountability
and Performance Improvement Framework (APIF).
The draft Digital education - making change happen is provided
as a resource to support schools in meeting the national vision
of “all schools confidently using ICT in their everyday
practices to improve learning, teaching and administration”.
It provides a guide for reflection, and strategic planning
for the integration of ICT teaching, learning and administration.
It is a tool that school leaders, staff and the school community
can use to review and evaluate where they are now and where
they want to be into the future, and to monitor their progress.
It is anticipated that schools will address elements 10,
1 and 3 as a minimum. Schools may choose to address the other
areas in their plan or in future plans over a four year cycle.
For schools applying for the National Secondary School Computer
Fund you will need to convert your ICT Strategic Plan Template
to a PDF to attach to your online application.Procedure

NTSchools Rollout Phase 2 Initiatives
A number of refinements are planned over the next few
weeks as part of a second phase of the project to provide more
flexibility and better control of resources. The following is
a summary of these initiatives. We are keen to get feedback
on these changes and suggestions for other enhancements to the
service click
for more information ......
Anti Spam
A new system was implemented in December to provide more effective
blocking of SPAM emails and hopefully you will be free of
the deluge of unwanted emails that impacted on the service
last year.
School Printer Purchases
As previously advised printers were not replaced under the
NTSCHOOLS technology upgrade project. Schools wishing to purchase
replacement or additional printers can buy from any printer
hardware retailer. If you wish to take advantage of the contracted
price and full warranty repair arrangement, Corporate Express
who supplied the Server and UPS equipment to the upgrade project
have offered the Brother HL-5270DN Workgroup Network Monochrome
Laser Printer at $501.15 exclusive of GST. (Please note that
this printer supplied under the Department's contract arrangements
will change as newer models are released).
