I think technology departments can take on the role of czar and start
setting educational policies. I have worked with It where it is a real
team and I was a part of the team and I've worked with IT departments that
did not want to be part of any team just set policies for the school.
They talked kids first but many of the policies they established really
put kids and staff at a disadvantage when using the equipment. No matter
how the issues were approached it was viewed as an attach on their
kingdom. Unfortunately, too many administrators just do not know enough
about integration to make a decision about whether something is
educationally sound vs. expedient for the IT guys. Too many demi-gods in
IT.
