"Abs: Proposed learning network technology offers some alternatives to the way we currently carry out education and training. High schools, state land-grant universities, libraries, community learning centers, public information
terminals in public buildings will all be affected by new innovations in information technology. Reinventing and conversion of our traditional educational institutions are feasible and plausible."

"Abs: Administrators in less wealthy rural areas need to strategically plan in order to raise resources for technology provision. One such plan, operated in Lake Forest School District, Delaware, involved staff and community, created tangible goals, defined what was meant by technology, committed its resources, sought creative funding approaches, and celebrated its accomplishments."
VanSciver, James H. (1994). Using a strategic plan to promote technology in less wealthy rural school districts. (Lake Forest School District) T.H.E. Journal: Technological Horizons in Education (22) 72-3. "Abs: The writer outlines how Lake Forest School District in Felton, Del., adopted a strategic plan to identify the values of the school system and to apply resources accordingly. During the development of the plan, technology emerged as a major value, and three of the original goals dealt with it: by January,1995, funding should be provided to acquire near state-of-the-art technical hardware, software, and training for 100 percent of the staff; by 1997, 100 percent of students should use tools of technology on a daily basis in their schools; and by August 1995, 100 percent of the staff should use tools of technology on a daily basis throughout the district. The process of clarifying values led to a decision to earmark $50,000 per year to develop a fund for technology purchases. The district's technology council was re-energized and wrote a comprehensive and districtwide curriculum. The writer concludes that these changes would never have taken place without the adoption of the strategic plan."
