Good discussions to day and rummaries of state and national tech plans. I was involved in the group that looked at how the state plans addressed students. We found: 1. emphasis on how technology can improve test scores; 2. students become active social leaners because of technology; 3. shift of emphasis from teacher to student learning to more of a student focus; 4. no detail describing the learning process.
Also in group that looked at 2004 National Tech Plan Goals listed:
1. Strengthen Leadership
2. Consider Innovative Budgeting
3. Improve Teacher Training
4. Support e-learning
5. Encourage broadband access
6. Move toward digital content
7. Integrate data systems
