- 3 more annotations...
- - Specifically, EETT undergirds NCLB’s goals by supporting:
    
    professional development to ensure teachers are highly qualified by both providing online training as well as enhancing their skills to integrate digital resources into the classroom,
    
    implementation of effective and appropriate educational software and digital content for use in curriculum, instruction, and classroom/school administration,
    computer-assisted and online testing, as well as data-driven decision-making systems, that allow for more immediate, relevant, and meaningful assessment of student skills,
    technology-based strategies to improve parental involvement, including through improved communication with teachers and access to student assignments and grades.
  - EETT allocates funds by formula to states. The states in turn reallocate 50% of the funds to local districts by Title I formula and 50% competitively.
  - Recommendation to Congress
    
    Restore funding for the EETT program to a minimum of its FY05 funding level of $496 million to meet the goals of NCLB and ensure students and teachers are prepared to compete in the 21st century.

- Technology improves learning skills.
  Today’s students must learn more than the basics to be prepared for life. Using technology, students develop learning skills, such as thinking and problem-solving skills, information and communication skills, and interpersonal and self-directional skills.
- Technology promotes equity and access in education.
  E-learning opportunities give economically underrepresented and geographically isolated students access to core academic content, digital information and specialized, advanced classes, a development that brings learning to students wherever they are.
