Abstract

The Delphi method was used to generate practices regarding the use of technology in high schools. In addition to generating the practices, teacher leaders, administrators, researchers, and policymakers were asked to rate and come to consensus regarding their importance. Consensus was achieved on 32 of the 34 practices and six themes emerged around technology use in high schools: (a) community connection and support, (b) access, (c) research and policy, (d) professional development, (e) curriculum, and (f) school culture.
