Future Ready Schools: Building Technology Infrastructure for Learning
Bakia, Marianne
Office of Educational Technology, US Department of Education
To provide students with the education they need to thrive in a globally connected world, schools and school districts need to find ways to design, fund, acquire, and maintain the infrastructure that will make connectivity a reality for every teacher and student in every classroom. The U.S. Department of Education's National Educational Technology Plan (NETP) presents a model of learning powered by technology to help the nation's schools provide all students with engaging and powerful learning content, resources, and experiences. The plan, according to the author, calls for revolutionary transformation rather than evolutionary tinkering. This guide provides practical, actionable information intended to help district leaders (superintendents, principals, and teachers leaders) navigate the many decisions required to deliver cutting-edge connectivity to students. It presents a variety of options for district leaders to consider when making technology infrastructure decisions, recognizing that circumstances and context vary greatly from district to district.
