Hi Laura,

That's exactly what I meant. Unfortunately, I lumped "teachers" together
- I should have clarified that I meant "teachers who manage the
decisions about IT provision" (usually the SMT). ;-)

Thanks for forcing the clarification..!

Also, please don't just lurk, it's good to hear contributions from "real
teachers" (tm).

All the best,

N.
