USDOE Releases National Education Technology Plan

The United State Department of Education has posted their draft National Education Technology Plan (NETP), which was released March 5, 2010. It provides the context and vision for how information and communication technologies can help transform American education. The plan provides a set of concrete goals to inform state and local educational technology plans, as well as recommendations to inspire research, development, and innovation.

The United States Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, on the plan:

We have the opportunity to completely reform our nation’s schools. We’re not talking about tinkering around the edges here. We’re talking about a fundamental re-thinking of how our schools function—and placing a focus on teaching and learning like never before.
