This section lists some of the topics to include in a technology plan, but a district should add to this list if necessary. Along with this list, Appendix E includes the Urbana technology plan as an example. The first topic to include in the technology plan are the educational goals and objectives to be addressed by technology. By stating these, a district can keep education as its goal while developing its network . These will guide the network development to provide an environment suitable for education.
Technology provides tools for enhancing education.
A district should explain how its education goals can be met using technology. Thus, a district should formally state its technology goals. If a district intends to have a computer in each classroom, the plan should state this. A district should decide if it wants to provide network access to each classroom at some point in the future, and if so, the plan should state this as well. A district should state its goals on accessibility to computer equipment.
