Note: If you are conducting this course as a real life process in your school you will do this as a whole staff activity.

Before you formulate your vision, here are some questions to consider:

• How will learning and teaching change, and how will technology support this change?
• What type of learning environments will you see?
• How will learning take place?
• What will your learners’ expectations of learning be?
• What will your learners know, value and be able to do when they leave your school?
• Does your e-learning vision stem from a School Strategic Plan, and does it create a picture of what technology can enable in your school?
• Is the e-learning vision a strong and succinct statement, which is easily understood by all members of the school community?
• How will your e-learning vision support a whole-school approach to the use of ICT?

Every journey starts somewhere and so does every vision. Your school’s collective vision will start here with you and with time it will become clearer and more all-inclusive.

1. Open the guideline to developing a vision and consider the questions, which may help you develop your first vision statement.

2. Use the checklist to assess your vision statement:
   

   Criteria
   Speaks about the future of my school.
   Is concise, yet memorable (a short sentence that is easy to remember)
   Uses simple language my stakeholders will understand
   Paints a compelling picture of my school and community in the future
   Alludes to how technology may contribute to enabling improvement

3. Join the Shared Vision​ group discussion and share your vision with the group. Note: If you are conducting this course as a real life process in your school you will not be required to do this step.
4. Give feedback to at least five of your peers using the criteria in the checklist to guide your comment. Mention a) something you like and b) how you think the vision statement might be improved (if applicable).
