National Educational Technology Plan

National Educational Technology Plan

The summary breaks down to: Learning: Engage and Empower finding out and getting people to use the technology they have around them to learn and not just to look up information or latest news on celebrities.  Inform them about other uses of this technology in the education of themselves and their children.

In assessments, the use of technology for evaluating the performance of the users both teachers and students will help keep better records in order to evaluate positive or negative changes cause by implementation of technology.

Allowing access to technology to educators allows them go start using technology to create curriculum and give them the opportunity to share with coworkers.  Be able to work on school projects at any time because of the current access.

The wise use of money to improve technology infrastructure in school districts comes with responsibilities use of the most current proven technology.  The purchasing of technology so that your district can be the first one to have it creates again responsibility to insure that it is going to be use for at least a few years.   Keeping in mind that yes there are upgrades but over did the new technology improve the education situation for both the teacher and the student.

I feel that all the plans follow the same trend of thought towards technology implementation but the execution at the state and sometimes at the district level leaves a lot to be desired.  Prioritizing athletic event financial requirements over technological requirements leaves a lot to look forward to as far as change in perspective of both community and educational leaders.
