Compose a planning/brainstorming roadmap for your technology plan. Each required element in the plan must be addressed in this roadmap, even if it is rudimentary and much development is needed. Refer to Module 8 where you will find the
technology plan outline
and the
rubric
to prepare your roadmap. Your submission could include a draft narrative, bullet points of what you have learned to date or tasks/questions to address, or a combination of the two. This activity’s primary requirement is that you demonstrate at least minimal planning for your technology plan at this point in the course.

Find the comparable policy for your organization and include it. If one is not available, note that here where the policy would be placed.
B. Provisions for organization-wide technology access
Describe what technology is available to organization members (employees, guests, customers, students, etc.). Examples might be computer labs, equipment available for checkout, public-access WiFi, etc. See Activity 6.
VII. Personnel roles and responsibilities
Describe broadly the individuals by title and/or role—not by name—who will be associated with the preparation and implementation of the technology plan and what roles they will fulfill in those activities.
VIII. Budget and funding
The resources you request in your grant proposal should be included in the technology plan. Include the proposed budget and funding information from your grant proposal. Add any additional information that is necessary to describe how you expect to cover any costs that the technology plan preparat
