Long Range Plan

After reading the Long Range Plan for technology, I have gained new perspective in the importance of technology in educational settings. I was not aware that the No Child Left Behind Act had provisions for technology in it. It specified that 8Th graders would have sound technology information and be able to implement this information. This is important for me to know right now since I am an 8th grade teacher. I also learned about the dynamics that make up this state. That is helpful to me as an administrator because I know what students are like in the schools and where school populations are moving to. Also, this reading helped me to see what will be expected of my campus and district as far as technology is concerned. I will be able to better help my campus meet the technology initiative by knowing this. Finally, I will be able to help the teachers and staff at my campus understand why implementation of technology is so important. I will be able to explain to them how the initiative works and also how to implement technology in their classrooms.
