EDLD 5352 Draft Plan Reflection

When reviewing the Draft Plan, I found much useful information. The Educational Technology Plan states that we will be clear about outcomes wanted, we will collaborate for effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility, we will continually monitor for growth, and we will hold ourselves accountable for progress. The plan is to engage and empower al learners through learning experiences and technology. With assessments in place, we can analyze data and look at areas of strength and weakness. We can use this information to better learning experiences for all. Not only will technology benefit the 21st century learner, it will also benefit the educator. It will provide 24 hour a day, 7 days a week to help, tools, and resources. Models for continuous improvement will be able to all with growth in mind. Several goals are mentioned for students and educators. Learners will have the opportunity to participate in active, empowering, and creative experiences in our network society. Educators will be supported technologically to enhance the learning of students. We will us assessment for continuous improvement. Support will be able when and where students and educators need it. We will redesign the process an structures to improve technology and outcomes with more efficient use of time, money, and staff. Technology should be used seamlessly in the classroom, in all subject areas, for the support of the how students learn. Students are surrounded with technology in today's society, and we should capitalize on it. Professional development will be available to educators to support the learning of all students. The more support, the more technology will be effectively used. I do not see any issues or concerns throughout the plan. I believe this is a great start to incorporating technology in a seamless way throughout each school day. The goals and recommendations provide great insight into what needs to be done in order to have success. As an instructional leader, this plan is a great resource.
