ENVISIONED FEATURES OF THESMARTSCHOOL

Technology input- LAN, WAN hardware and

courseware Technology standards- common tech. forinteroperability Data Security- Most data will be on-line andeasily accessible

Technology Architecture- A central agency willco-ordinatethe introduction of technology into Smart Schools

Processes

Smart School processes are viewed as asystem. When the system is provided withinputs, the Smart School processes will work

to produce the desired outputs. The Smart School process will change the way

children are taught. Learning is thenoptimised to each child. Individual minds,spirits and physical selves are catered torather than the treatment of the class as ahomogeneous collective whole.

The whole range policies, regulations, procedures andpractices both formal and informal, written andunwritten that will need to be changed toaccommodate implementation of Smart Schools.
