The first goal of the National Educational Technology Plan deals with the learning component and states that learners should have engaging and empowering learning experiences in every aspect of their life that will prepare them for a future in a digital world. The second goal deals with the assessment component and states that it will use technology to measure and assess data needed to provide information regarding areas of improvement. The third goal relates to the teaching component and states that professional educators will be provided with the necessary tools that connects them to data, content, resources, expertise, and learning experiences that enable and inspire more effective teaching for all learners. The fourth goal relates to the infrastructure components and states that students and educators will have access to a comprehensive infrastructure. The fifth goal relates to the productivity component and state that the education system will redesign processes and structures to take advantage of learner outcomes while making efficient use of time, money, and staff.
The plan emphasizes the importance of focusing on what and how we teach to address the needs of multiple learners therefore inspiring all students to achieve. The plan also emphasizes the need for continuous and life-long learning for both teachers and students.
There are some issue and concerns that I have with the plan regarding funding. I believe there should be a backup plan in place in case funding is unavailable for technology in some districts. There should be something in place to assist technologically disadvantaged districts and areas.
