Book Description
The Alaska Department of Educational and Early Development (EED) has developed this five-year educational technology plan based on the recommendations of a taskforce representing education stakeholders throughout the state and has submitted this report to the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education. A state technology plan is required under NCLB, specifically the Enhancing Education Through Technology (Ed Tech)--Title II, Part D. Although this plan is required by NCLB, it provides much more than the fifteen requirements (as referenced in appendix 2). The taskforce recommendations for educational technology go beyond merely satisfying the federal requirements but create a plan that can meet the districts' needs and expand the implementation of technology in an equitable manner. The Alaska State Educational Technology Plan provides a blueprint to guide future state and local technology planning. Through implementation of this plan, EED hopes to inform and educate stakeholders by: obtaining and sharing a snapshot on current educational technology progress; identifying best practices, resources, and tools in educational technology; providing guidance on educational technology implementation; and using performance indicators to evaluate success over time. All the goals in this plan will help meet the goals of the Title II, Part D (Ed Tech) program. This report is divided into the following sections: (1) Introduction; (2) Mission and Vision; (3) Beliefs and Goals; (4) Integration and Learning; (5) Professional Development; (6) Data-Driven Schools; (7) Access and Infrastructure; and (8) Community Involvement. Appended are: list of taskforce members; No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Title II, Part D requirements; list of website resources; and a glossary.
