"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.

This web site is hosted for the U.S. Department of Education by SRI International.

The emerging framework for the plan focuses on four areas in which technology has the potential to transform education:

Learning: Providing unprecedented access to high-quality learning experiences.

Assessment: Measuring what really matters and providing the information that enables continuous improvement at all levels of the education system.

Teaching: New ways to support those who support learning.

Productivity: Redesigning systems and processes to free up education system resources to support learning."
