  2. Overview of Development Process 9 ED Internal Interviews Information Gathering Web Site with Potential Themes/Goals Potential Theme Identification Draft Plan Input from Public & the Field Outreach Activities

  3. Development Timeline 2009 Silicon Valley Meeting NECC Meetings State Ed Tech Grants Meeting Web Site 1.0 Available Web Site 2.0 Available

  4. Progress to Date • Outreach: Presentations to ISTE Leadership Symposium, ISTE 100, SETDA, NACOL, CoSN, NCSL, NCTET, Tech Industry Leaders, Foundation Leaders • Technical Working Group Deliberations: Face-to-face and webinar meetings of 15-member TWG are ongoing • Identification of Major Themes: Learning, Assessment & Continuous Improvement, Teacher Supports, and Productivity & Infrastructure • Identifying Key Tools, Examples and Research: Underway for the four themes • Web Site: More detailed information and solicitation of input on edtechfuture.org Draft plan is due to ED the end of December.

  5. Focus Area Statements • Learning: Enabling unprecedented access to high-quality learning experiences. • Assessment: Measuring what matters and providing the information that enables continuous improvement processes at all levels of the education system. • Teaching: New ways to support those who support learning. • Productivity: Redesigning systems and processes to free up education system resources to support learning.

  6. Collaborating around the future of educational technology National Educational Technology Plan Learning About Home Type text to search here… You must be registered and logged-in to post comments. National Educational Technology Plan The U.S. Department of Education is developing a new National Educational Technology Plan to provide a vision for how information and communication technologies can help transform American education. The plan will provide a set of concrete goals that can inform state and local educational technology plans as well as inspire research, development, and innovation. A draft plan is expected in early 2010. This web site is hosted for the U.S. Department of Education by SRI International. The emerging framework for the plan focuses on four areas in which technology has the potential to transform education: Learning: How can we make high-quality learning experiences readily available to everyone? Assessment: What should we be measuring and how can the information that enables continuous improvement be made available at all levels of the education system? Teaching: How can we better support the people who support learning? Productivity: How can education systems and processes be redesigned to free up resources for teaching and learning?.
