If there were any doubts about the Obama administration's intentions toward education technology, the United States Department of Education settled them with the release March 5 of the first public draft of the National Education Technology Plan. The 114-page document reveals an intent not only to infuse technology throughout the curriculum (and beyond), but to implement some major--sometimes radical--changes to education itself.
The plan, titled Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology, sets forth, in part, a manifesto for change, questioning many of the basic structures of American education, enumerating the principles of change that are the foundation for the plan, and setting goals and recommendations for achieving this change. To read more about the plan, visit The Journal online or see the report.
