His community committed to a knowledge-based so compelling that even serious economic challenges couldn't stop his community from building the Digital Age learning system they knew their students would require to succeed.

Don't expect your community to simply 'show up' ready to vision. Build their capacity by exploring technology-based learning never before possible. Link the discussions to students' academic achievement, technology literacy, and economic futures. Bridge from vision to practice to be sure ALL stakeholders recognize the vision in action when they see it.
