-My last answer led me right into the beginning of this chapter. "The field of instructional design and technology is focused on improving learning and performance. Learning and performance typically occur within organizations (systems), including school districts, universities, businesses, government institutions, and others." This is exactly what i was trying to say when saying that using technology to the maximum capabilities to have work flow with ease between coworkers and administration. It just seems like someone is always talking about 'needs and future directions'. Is there an educator out there that doesn't realize that districtwide ecological systemic improvement is not only needed, but doable? And then to say that an important need is for policymakers on state and national levels to realize that there is the need for and nature of ecological systemic transformation of school districts, Do they not already know this? We can always talk about different ways of doing it but when are we going to do it? Finances and knowledge always seem to be the key factors either there isnt enough money or people dont know enough about it to do it. There is always some test that was done or some test that was done or some system that a school district tried out to see how it would work. There is always an article or some information on these things and the same results, some worked, some didnt', and we all know we need to do something about it but still continue in the same vicious cycle. Who or when is going to change it who or when is going to take the technology that we have and use it to turn around our districts.
