Darryl Vidal holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business and a Master’s degree in Education Technology and has been consulting for K-12 school technology programs for over 20 years.

Project Management in the Ed Tech Era is the "how to" book on successful implementation of the strategic plan. MAPITŪ provides the plans and procedures to manage resources, communications, changes, risk, data integrity and overall project quality. The methodology in this book will assist Project Managers in the implementation of technology projects. (Cheryl Plotkin, Interim Assistant Superintendent Business Services, El Rancho Unified School District)
Darryl Vidal possesses an expertise in organizational leadership and planning that many organizations lack. His guidance has been vital in ensuring our organization is more efficient as we support students throughout our district. The knowledge and skill sets I have acquired from him will benefit me in my current role and beyond. (Hani Youssef, PhD, Assistant Superintendent Educational Services, Simi Valley Unified School District)
Managing major projects at school districts requires unique skills and processes. These processes have been developed and refined over years. As Darryl very expertly points out many school districts are reluctant to take the extra steps necessary to properly manage a large technology project. It may be a better value for tax payers if the project is managed properly and the methods described in this book are essential to achieving that best value for tax payers. Project management is its own skill set and needs to be respected as such. Darryl provides a roadmap to manage any large scale technology project. More districts need to heed these methods in order to make sure the best is provided for our students. During a major technology infrastructure project we used the project management techniques described in the book to great success. What Darryl has written needs to be read by all school district leaders in charge of implementing major technology projects. (William Olien, Assistant Superintendent, Murrieta Valley Unified School District)
