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.https://edtechfuture.org/

Four Focus Areas for Educational Transformation
9
Learning: Enabling unprecedented access to high-quality learning experiences.
Everyone, including English Language Learners and students with disabilities, should have increased access to meaningful, well designed and readily available learning experiences, throughout their lives.https://edtechfuture.org/
10GOAL 1: Teachers and students will access technology as a tool to achieve academic standards and success developing students who are capable of assuming productive roles in a global society.
Teachers will utilize and integrate technology into all aspects of curriculum to improve student achievement and meet both State and Federal Guidelines and requirements of No Child Left Behind.
Teachers will provide students with hands-on experiences in an interactive classroom to develop technology skills and interest within an enriched learning environment.
Focus on providing and graduating students with skills for the 21st century work force which includes the ability to collaborate in a technology driven world.

17Evaluation Process:
All teachers at all campuses will complete the Texas Star Chart and a district survey to assess the use of technology to improve education and student performance.
BRIDGE CITY ISD Technology Plan: 2010 2013
The technology committee will meet again in the spring to determine the progress that each campus has made during the year in regards to effective use of technology in the classroom. This will also give time for additional feedback for planning professional development opportunities for the beginning of the next school year.
18Evaluation Method:The technology department and the technology committee will use the following means to evaluate the success of the technology plan and to make decisions on the impact that technology has on the learning process for all students.
* Star Chart* A district teacher survey addressing the teacher's success of integrating technology into curriculum and instruction* TAKS scores* Notes and suggestions from committee meetings* Monitoring technology integration through classroom observations* Reviewing teacher lesson plans* Inventory of software or hardware purchased to meet student objectives* Review of technology plan timelines and implementation of strategies
