Or something like a full integration of technology into the curriculum, which, itself, requires an understanding of the possibilities and uses of said technology?
Hmmm A full reassessment of the possibilities for computer applications in each aspect and area of the curriculum, maybe?
That's good, except I also want something about how it has to be part of the school setup as well, as opposed to, "So, we've got a computer lab. Use it for something!"
Ha! I done made up some bullshit.

It requires a wholesale change in attitude for teachers and administrators.

Right! Kung-fu grip! Also, training, consideration of how it will fit into the current schedule setup, etc.
