Getting Staff to Use Data Systems
Riley, Sheila
Technology & Learning, v27 n4 p17 Nov 2006
In this article, John Forbes, administrative analyst for the 80,000-student Fresno Unified School District in Fresno, and Terrence Young, chief information officer for the 70,000-student Guilford Country Schools in Greensboro, North Carolina, share their strategies for getting staff on board with Web-based data systems. These are the strategies: (1) find out what will make the grade before the full rollout; (2) pay attention to what end users want; (3) do training at convenient times and with small groups; (4) point out how it makes life easier; and (5) make it easy to get answers.
