The National Education Technology Plan from 2010 focused on reforming education through the use of technology. It outlined 5 essential components of learning with technology: learning, assessment, teaching, infrastructure, and productivity. The plan called for using technology to engage and empower students, measure learning through new forms of assessment, provide teachers with resources and skills, ensure access to tools, and redesign processes to improve outcomes. It emphasized using today's technologies in classrooms to prepare students with 21st century skills.

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.
