Technology Plan VS Digital Strategy? Which Should We Implement at Belmont Primary School

This particular topic baffled me while researching for my blog since it appeared to

 me as I read that the digital strategy is a component of the technological plan, so

 how can I compare and contrast them and choose one without the other?

In my perplexity, I came across this video that clarified the differences between the

 terms 'Plan' and 'Strategy.' Please take note of the differences listed below.        

I therefore concluded:

          A Technology Plan focuses on the organization's technology investment and overall use.

whereas

A Digital Strategy is concerned with the use of technology to achieve specific goals outlined in the technology plan. The emphasis is on teaching, learning, and evaluation.

FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG, I WILL LOOK AT IMPLEMENTING A DIGITAL STRATEGY AT BELMONT PRIMARY SCHOOL. I CHOSE THE STRATEGY OVER THE PLAN BECAUSE THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN BEGINS AT THE COUNTRYWIDE LEVEL. OUR MINISTRY OF EDUCATION HAS ALREADY  IMPLEMENTED A NATIONWIDE PLAN TO IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONNECTIVITY AT SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUDGETING AND SETTING GOALS. THEREFORE A DIGITAL STRATEGY WOULD BE MORE SUITABLE AT THIS TIME FOR BELMONT PRIMARY SCHOOL.

Our digital strategy will highlight the use of technology to achieve our

 technological goals and vision.
