Strategic Agenda We want to be connected to the internet……… We may even want to host our own web site……… We must have a secure network! What are the implications of all this?

The Needs Assessment What do we want to do with our site? Will we use the site to improve the instructional program? Our business practices? Both? Who will have access? Administrators? Teachers? Students? Parents? What resources are available to us? People? Money?

Once We Have our Site…. How do we maintain and evaluate the content of the web site? What are “content guidelines?”

Legal Issues and Policies Acceptable Use Policies Sunshine Laws Accessibility Guidelines Student Rights and Privacy Copyright Compliance Filtering Content

To Host or Not to Host? How do we determine if we should host the web site “in-house?” How do we handle training of staff? Technical support? Computer users?

Procuring Resources Once we know the things we need, how do we get them? Using the bid process Basic design parameters Contract parameters Vendor/contractor qualifications Legal Issues

When We Have “It,” How Do We Create a Secure Environment? What steps can we take to secure computer hardware and software? How can we secure our physical network? How can we maintain data integrity?

Strategic Solutions What are the implications of all this? What are our next steps?
