The first step in developing a technology plan is convening a planning committee or team to review the school-improvement plan already in place and research the district needs.

Team members develop a vision for the plan, determine the goals that must be met to reach it, and create steps to implement those goals.
-
As the team gathers information and develops a knowledge base, team members are able to generate a collective vision for technology in the school district.
-
The implementation plan for the team's goals must include an awareness of the school district's budget
-
Another important component of the technology plan is professional development and support for teachers.
-
ast, the plan must have an assessment component. Educators, parents, and community members are more likely to support technology if they are able to see proof of its value in helping students learn.

OVERVIEW: Because technology continues to play an important role in modern industrial society, integrating technology into the schools will help prepare students to succeed in a rapidly changing world. "Technology is transforming society, and schools do not have a choice as to whether they will incorporate technology but rather how well they use it to enhance learning" (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory & Illinois State Board of Education, 1995). Technology integration also is important because it supports the goals of education reform. To ensure that technology is effectively integrated into the schools, educators and community members must collaborate to create a formal technology plan. Developing a plan for using technology to support education reform means more than providing for the acquisition of computers and software. To be successful, a technology plan must promote meaningful learning and collaboration, provide for the needed professional development and support, and respond flexibly to change.

Dianne Krause" To realize the benefits of technology, schools must develop a plan for integrating technology into the curriculum. An effective technology plan is based on the shared vision of educators, parents, community members, and business leaders who have technological expertise. It ensures that technology strengthens existing curricula and supports meaningful, engaged learning for all students. It also specifies how the technology will be paid for and how its use will be supported. "

- The plan for integrating technology into the school is based on the school or district's educational vision and is part of an overall school-improvement plan.
- The technology plan aims to improve student learning, to help students perform authentic tasks, and to help students learn skills that will prepare them for future careers.
- Educators, parents, students, and community members support the school's initiatives in the use of technology.
- Professional development and support for staff is provided on an ongoing basis.
- The technology plan is periodically reviewed and updated.
- Evaluation plans are in place to ensure the technology plan generates the desired outcomes.
GOALS:
-
Use a tool such as the Learning and Technology Framework to graphically depict the current practices and future goals of learning and technology in the school or district, and to compare the effectiveness of the available technology programs at promoting engaged learning. Identify indicators of engaged learning that the school or district is currently using or needs to incorporate in the classroom.
-
Assess infrastructure needs at the classroom, building, and district levels to determine <!-- external --> the technical design for the technology infrastructure.
-
Review and update the technology plan at least once a year to provide <!-- external --> evaluation of its usefulness.
-
- Seek opportunities to work in teams to design technology-supported projects.
- Integrate appropriate technology into curricular areas. (For classroom projects that incorporate technology into mathematics, science, and history, refer to the Handbook of Engaged Learning Projects).
- Develop objectives that describe appropriate technology goals for students at each grade level.
- Create lesson plans that incorporate authentic uses of technology.
- Develop proficiency in technology through professional development and collegial support.
- Use technology for routine tasks as well as for curriculum development.
- Review and refine the technology plan so that it adequately reflects the scope and sequence of student goals and tasks.

-
The first step in developing a technology plan is convening a planning committee or team to review the school-improvement plan already in place and research the district needs. An effective team enlists educators but also takes advantage of the expertise of community members and the input of parents and students. Planning partners may include administrators, principals, teachers, district office representatives, parents, potential business partners, and a representative from the county office, regional agency, or department of education (Cradler, 1996).

. Implementing technology in education requires team members to become familiar not only with learning research but also with research on the most promising ways of using technology to improve student achievement, condition of facilities, available technology (including cost), and professional development opportunities and requirements.

This vision should support meaningful, engaged learning for all students, outline the district's <!-- external --> learning goals for placing technology in the hands of educators and students, and support the curricular goals of the school. The proposed plan must promote technology used for authentic tasks. Tools such as <!-- external --> Guiding Questions for Technology Planning are designed to help planners make the transition from abstract vision to concrete plans.
