Long Range Plan Analysis

The Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology has a vision for the future of technology in Texas' schools. Vision 2020 reinforces the fact that planning must be systematic and requires aligning standards and providing equitable access to teachers and students. The plan reviews the need for changing. Basically, the world is changing whether we change or not. The question is - do we want to stay in touch with what is already happening or do we want to drag behind?

The 21st Century Learner is already using technology outside the school door. How do we use the skills that students already have and create a technology-rich environment for them inside the school? We must provide equity to all students; this can be achieved through technology and distance learning.

As an instructional leader guiding technology use and integration at my campus, I will encourage teachers to talk to their students to determine what exactly they would like to see in their classrooms. What would get them excited about that particular subject? Go to the source to see what they would like their classroom to be!
