2.  The National Education
technology Plan 2010 focus is to
reform education with the use of
everyday technologies by
focusing on 5 essential
components of learning with the
use of technology.
› The 5 components are
 Learning
 Assessment
 Teaching
 Infrastructure
 Productivity

technology into the
classroom that makes
learning meaningful,
engaging, motivating,
and inspiring for all.
 Students need

that combine content

9.  Assessments should be

assessments should be

and innovation.

used to design, develop,

and processes.

 Can be used to support

productivity

11.  Technology should allow
educators to prepare
students for the real
world.
 With the use of
technology, educators
can work together to
support their own
learning and improve
student learning.
 Connected teaching
provides various
opportunities to
personalize learning, i.e.
blended learning

12.  Allows educators to break from traditional methods
and collaborate with peers.
 Connected teaching makes it possible to reach
specialized and exceptional educators through
online learning activities.
 Professional development with the use of
technology can increase digital literacy and help
educators create assignments that improve
learning, assessment, and instruction.
 Educators who are skilled in instructional design
can provide online and blended learning
experiences that are more personalized to students
needs.

13.  Comprehensive infrastructure for
learning is necessary to move beyond
the traditional model to a learning
model that brings together teams and
students.
 Infrastructure is necessary to support a
learning society where learning is lifelong
and lifewide.

14.  Access to the Internet & wireless connectivity should be
provided to both educators and students.
 Access to at least one mobile device and appropriate
software.
 Open educational resources can promote innovative
and creative opportunities for all learners and speed up
the development and adoption of new technology.
 Building state & local education agency capacity for
evolving.
 Develop and use interoperability standards for content
and student-learning data.
 Develop and use interoperability standards for financial
data to enable data-driven decision making.

15. Steps to productivity
 We must use the power of technology to
redesign processes and structures to
improve learning outcomes in a way that
uses time, money, and staff efficiently.
 We must identify what we are looking for
in learning outcomes.

16.  Use data to make continuous improvements.
 Evaluate current practices and remove
processes that do not improve learning.
 Develop a system of collecting data and use it
to determine if the current form of education is
improving outcomes and productivity.
 Design, implement, and evaluate technology-
powered programs to ensure they are
appropriate for the students to progress
through P-16 education and beyond.

17.  In order for us to be leaders in education, we must
be leaders in the design and implementation using a
new approach to R&D for education.
 There are four areas of focus
› Continue to provide competitive grants for scaling
innovative and evidence based practices through I3.
› Transfer existing and emerging technology innovations
from consumers, businesses, and entertainment into
education.
› Support and sustain the education R&D that is currently
taking place at the National Science Foundation.
› Create a new organization whose mission is to serve the
public though R&D.
