Educational Planning
- The
National Center for Educational Statistics
has created, under contract with the
federal government,
a guide to help you assess the use
of technology in schools. This resource
will be valuable in the creation of
transitional and regular
educational technology plans and aid
in your ongoing assessment of technology
in your classrooms.
Sample technology assessment tools:
- Potential Tools
for Measuring the Impact of Technology in the
Classroom," a
recently published ATEC report, focuses on
the current status of
classroom
observation protocols and their
potential for measuring the impact of the
use of technology on classroom practices.
- The Northeast and Islands Regional
Technology Consortium (NEIRTEC) has created a series of
Technology Briefs
for NCLB planners.
The topics of these Technology Briefs were selected to reflect
the U.S. Department of Education requirements for state and
local applications,
and they provide NCLB planners with effective strategies,
key questions to consider, and selected resources that
will inform
the application
and planning process.
- This site can take you to
a good sample plan from Bellingham, Washington schools
and
to resources covering
many aspects of planning for educational technology.
- For those who see technology
planning as part of the bigger picture of strategic or
local improvement planning,
as well as for those who want a tool kit for only technology
planning, this is it! The Technology Planning Tools provided
here encompass
all the big parts of your plan, in very thorough detail.

- If you already
have a good plan and just need to bring it up-to-date, then
this site can help. Sponsored by the National Council for Technology
Planning.
- This site helps school
administrators, technology coordinators, and
business managers understand
how much more there
is to planning purchases than just saying how
much the hardware and software will cost to buy.
There’s
a checklist, lots of links to cost as well as
networking and planning
resources,
and a PowerPoint
slide presentation. Sponsored by CoSN, the Consortium
for School Networking.
- A wonderful guide for
education agencies, written in down-to-earth
terms using scads
of common sense.
In this book you will find the steps you should
take to identify your technology
needs, consider your options, acquire the technology,
and implement a technology solution that will
serve you today
and provide
a
foundation for your district’s technology
in the future.
-
The site provides an interactive, leave-it-and-come-back-at-will
process for creating a technology plan. Your
planning team can actually create
the plan online, using the Builder. Sponsored by Compaq.
- Variety of government
reports both inside and outside the education sector, including
