Four CornerstonesGetting a handle on Technology
I. Readiness for ChangeHow prepared and capable are people for activating new ways of teaching and learning that will make a difference for all students?
II. Teaching and LearningWhat new ways of teaching and learning are actually developed with technology uses demonstrating added-value that makes a difference for all students?

Four CornerstonesGetting a handle on Technology
III.Technology DeploymentHow robust and pervasive is the technical infrastructure in supporting the new ways of teaching and learning for all students?
IV. System CapacityHow organized and capable is the system for scaling and sustaining the change in order to ensure results for all students?

FindingsSystem Capacity – Policies Procedures
A system can tolerate up to 30% "foreign" or new ideas without snapping back. This elasticity surprises groups whose first efforts yield results and then a "wall" of resistance stops the forward movement. The indicators in this cluster are critical when moving from “optional” use of an innovation to full “expectation” of technology use. The success of this cluster will yield equity across the system.

FindingsLearning – Ubiquitous Access
LearningII. Learning – This cornerstone measures the learning
environment and the integration of computer technology. In all learning environments visitors ought to feel students first, learning second, and resources, like technology, third. Many times, people confuse the means with the ends by focusing only on computers, and not on the improved learning well implemented computers bring to students.

FindingsTechnology Deployment
Technology DeploymentThis cornerstone is becoming increasingly technical and
complex requiring very competent staffing. Educational purposes and goals rather than hardware/software acquisition must guide these decisions.
