The Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020 is LONG, but it should be since the plan spans over 14 years.
Two very important sections I found interesting:
a. The need for change
b. The descriptions of teachers
I believe the two go hand in hand. It is obvious there is a need for change in classrooms. Technology is not a fad, it’s here to stay. It’s ever-changing, it’s everywhere. We as educators have to learn to utilize and implement these wonderful resources and tools within our curriculum to reach maximum student achievement. By not using technology within our lessons, we are not preparing our 21st century learners for their futures in the world.
With this in mind, I was pretty disappointed by the responses that the Teacher Voices section described. Seasoned teachers, or any teachers that have this fear of technology, have got to realize that technology is helpful, not harmful. There is absolutely no reason to prevent advancements in curriculum because of electronics anxiety.
The main concept I have taken away from my first review of this plan is encouragement. I will take my technological courage and electronic device confidence and spread it across my campus. I will guide, help, teach, and learn. I will push for integration and implementation so the 21st century learners at my campus are not robbed of the skills they need to succeed in their future.
