Long Range Plan for Technology

After reading and summarizing the long range plan for Texas education, I was impressed with the thorough job that was done. There are numerous lists of expecations and recommendations for each section. The key to make the vision a reality is to expose as many teachers to this information as possible and get buy in from educators that this is the best way to prepare our students for the future. I can use all of this new information to help me be a leader on my campus integrating technology into my classroom. I can assist other teachers in my department integrate technology into their classrooms. An effective strategy for teachers is modeling and observing other teachers model technology. I believe once you actually see implementation of technology in a classroom, it is much easier to attempt it in your own classroom. I can also promote and support other teachers using technology and help to explain the many benefits of technology for students given in the long range plan. I will also ask campus leaders for more technology professional development to improve myself and my colleagues.
