Strategic planning for digital technologies

Schools are encouraged to develop an ICT strategic plan that aligns with their School Strategic Plan and Annual Implementation Plan. An ICT strategic plan describes how school goals will be enabled by digital technology.

ICT online planning tool

The online ICT planning tool helps schools simplify the ICT strategic planning process, by assisting schools to:

• develop their ICT vision
• identify current infrastructure, hardware and fleet usage and areas for improvement
• identify current ICT and target practices aligned with learning and teaching goals
• develop a plan of action, including a Gantt chart, that will lead to the achievement of their identified goals
• develop a plan for infrastructure and device management
• plan their school ICT budget expenditure over a 4-year period.

Principal class members and school service technicians have default access to the tool. Access for other staff members can be delegated. Contact the Service Desk via the Services Portal (staff login required) or email at servicedesk@education.vic.gov.au for assistance.

To access the online planning tool, refer to: ICT planning tool (staff login required).

ICT strategic planning resources

A collection of resources and examples have been curated to assist schools with ICT strategic planning. To access these resources, visit Strategic Planning for Digital Technologies on Arc Learning.

Updating school ICT strategic plans

Prior to transitioning to department-provided technologies, as outlined in the Technologies and ICT Services policy, schools are encouraged to review and update their ICT strategic plans to align with the requirements and objectives of this policy.
