EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY PLANNING
www.techplan.org
Technology planning is federally
mandated for local school agencies seeking technology funding from federal
programs, including the Universal Service Fund (E-Rate)
and No Child Left Behind legislation (Ed-Tech
Guide).
As a result, technology plans must meet federally established criteria and be approved by the state. In addition, the State Technology Plan (2000) has specific recommendations relating to planning and implementation that need to be accomplished.
