Policy makers in education do not perceive the education system as a unique discipline, but rather judge it using terms appropriate for the world of economics. Methods of analysis and decision-making that exist in the world of economics are implemented in the field of education. This reality was the basis for our research on the integration of technological systems for the advancement of students. It became clear that in order to succeed in the process of integrating innovative technological systems in the schools we should not "flood the schools" with technology, but should use the "islands of success method."
