Wandering around the Internet somewhere, I came across the saying “Fairy dust and Grit.” I think it is a wonderful potential motto for many school IT departments in this time of really significant change for schools. Budgets are being cut, positions either eliminated or unfilled, and—at the same time—we are expecting more from our IT staff and technology in general. Ever since the Internet arrived on the scene some Boards of Education have looked at IT resources as a magical way to reduce dropout rates, increase test scores by engaging more students in learning, etc.
