TD13: The current backup of data process is functional but can be improved for efficiency
and redundancy.!
TD14: New devices and video standards have forced an examination of formats due to
limitations.!
TD15: As new systems and functions are added the complexity of the overall environment
increases. Seeking more integrated system solutions can provide for ease-of-use and
maintenance.!
TD16: Power needs for devices in the classroom are increasing and sufficient outlets, charging
stations or other syncing capabilities are not in place.!
TD17: The need for assistive technology and related planning continues to be a need and
