Technology Plans
• District– Building consensus– Guides planning– Variations in use
• State– Looking for guidance– Need for specifics, a true plan– 21st Century skills should be the
emphasis

EdTech Improving Instructional Development, Delivery, and
Assessment• Computer-based assessments
– Coordinators are optimistic– Many challenges
• Logistics• Limited hardware• Test integrity

• Expanded use of laptop computers– new category of laptops– successes in other areas
• specific activities associated with achievement gains
• lower rates of behavior problems, more student engagement
– an area where teachers feel ill-prepared– technology coordinators are concerned
about the support needed
