The “Recipe for Digital Transformation Success” identifies the elements that successful districts have in common and are missed by struggling districts.
Summarized in short videos and in a downloadable checklist, the recipe is informed through Schad’s work with other leading districts to find and articulate these commonalities.
The “What is Digital Transformation?” graphic emphasizes that reaching digital transformation is not the end of the journey, but a beginning that positions districts for the “new normal” of constant change.
It also describes what transformation looks like in each of the five critical dimensions: student outcomes, educator outcomes, culture, infrastructure and the role of information technology.
“What’s great about the LML initiative is that it brings together thought leaders, district leaders, practitioners, and leading technology innovators. We’ve combined the insights from these diverse, leading-edge experts to create what I consider to be some truly relevant and unusually salient resources for districts,” said Marie Bjerede, project director for CoSN’s Leadership for Mobile Learning initiative.
Provided at no cost, the LML initiative is supported by Amplify, BestBuy, C. Blohm & Associates, Filewave, Google, JAMF Software, Juniper Networks, Lenovo, Lightspeed Systems, Pearson, Promethean, Qualcomm, Sprint and Verizon.
