The Current Reality Report/SWOT Analysis report demonstrates my ability to facilitate the design, development, implementation, communication, and evaluation of technology-infused strategic plans because it allowed me to assist my school creating a shared vision and action plan for technology integration.

To improve the quality of the artifact or the process involved in creating the artifact, I would have involved input from my principal. According to Creighton (2003), the lack of support from school leaders regarding technology integration will defeat the purpose of the vision and the technology plan. In order for us to overcome our obstacles, it is vital that I have his input and
