National Ed-Tech Plan...revisited

On May 19th, I wrote about the proposal of the National Education Technology Plan (NETP) and its goals. Well…It’s official! Last week, the final version of the National Ed-Tech Plan was released by the U.S. Department of Education.

The document is organized into 5 components that the Department of Ed says are essential in “learning powered by technology”:

1. Learning: Engage and Empower
2. Assessment: Measure What Matters
3. Teaching: Prepare and Connect
4. Infrastructure: Access and Enable
5. Productivity: Redesign and Transform

Even if reading a 90-page government plan isn’t your thing, I encourage you to check it out. There are sidebars on many of the pages that are boxed in light blue. Each of these sidebars explains real-life programs in schools and organizations that are taking advantage of the benefits of technology.
