8. Expectation Management
• On average, the research says that it takes 3-5 years for teachers to effectively and seamlessly integrate technology and instruction
• Student achievement will not increase as a result of having 24/7 technology
• Student achievement will increase, over time, when an adopted curriculum and instructional program is integrated with 24/7 technology

9. Program Evaluation
• An objective, outside research organization is needed to provide consistent and focused results relative to program goals
• Need to be accountable and responsible for reaching benchmarks, adjusting program as needed
• Need to build sustainable models
