II.E: National Education Technology Plan

Release a draft of the National Educational Technology Plan: "Transforming American Education: learning Powered by Technology."

Other Information:

On March 3, 2010, the Department released a draft of the National Educational Technology Plan: "Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology." This plan was prepared for the Office of Educational Technology by leading researchers and practitioners. It represents their best ideas about how we can bring forward our schools—making them centers of learning designed to close the gap between the technology-rich and exciting experiences that dominate students' lives outside of school while preparing them for success in today's competitive global marketplace. In keeping with the Open Government Initiative, ED has published the draft on the Department's Web site at National Education Technology Plan 2010. The public has been invited to review it, comment on it, and to refine it. ED welcomes suggestions about ways to accelerate the development and adoption of tools and resources that merge education and technology as well as incentives to help spark innovation, scaling of the most effective products, and continuous improvement.
