As administers and instructors we are familiar with the idea on making data base decisions. When it comes to making decisions about what programs and applications to keep I don’t think my district has a handle on it. Completing module 8 has opened my eyes to procedures that should be in place when making informed decisions. As a matter of fact I don’t think decisions should be made without some kind of procedure and chart like that one we just worked on. By having a systematic approach in all the inputs and outputs of the system is especially useful as we wanted to understand every element and variable about making decisions about our programs. Also how does a program or application rank in a district can be a great indicator of its necessity to the district. By completing the assignment 8 chart it was interesting to me how each program had its value in our school and which ones were not worth the time and money. When I assess my programs that I personally use at work the one that I used most was actually free and the one I found to be not useful at all was the higher expenditure. To me functional assessment is one of the most critical aspect in judging the importance, value and priority of a program and applications in a district. If you are not getting what you want in a program you are just wasting time and money.
