ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the introduction of a technology-based teaching and learning programme into a private P-12 co-educational school in Australia. The chapter deals with the introduction of lap-top computers into the school and the policy issues invoked in what was a relatively radical innovation. The chapter is centrally concerned with the predisposition and capacity of a school to move beyond continuous improvement of existing programmes to the development of new categories of clientele and new uses of curriculum. The discussion indicates that a school that wants to move to new and emerging markets and technologies requires a different set of organisational capabilities and a high level of innovativeness and competitiveness.
