The plan is within 3 years of revision, July of 2012. The plan reflects current and recent revision made to the previous technology plan. It also displays proof of implementing new technology revisions by providing a strict analysis of technology uses and assessments within the different schools. The plan discusses changes and implementation in the vision statement. The vision statement does contain information about technology use and learning outcomes. The vision statement also includes implementation of new and updated technology use and technology assistance for learning outcomes. The technology plan does specify the current technology being used with the system. It also specifies data sources that are used to inform the system about technology planning. It gives a summary of technology use, technology software, and an inventory for some technology for each school within the system. A comprehensive inventory of current technology is not in the plan. It also gives a brief description of technology use within the system; administrative, instructional, schools, and community technology use. Goals ?

The action plan is summarized throughout the goals and vision statement. Some mastery dates of benchmarks and goals are stated within the goals. The professional development strategies are indicated within the goals. The strategies include a specific implementation dates, methods, funding source, and persons who are responsible. It is clearly stated and very easy to follow. There is a professional development summary that provides a quick analysis of the goals set out for professional development. The current and ongoing evaluation process is discussed within the vision statement and in the communication and marketing needs. I think that the current and ongoing evaluation process needs to be separated in order for the technology use data to be summarized, analyzed, identified, and evaluated. There is a chart that identifies system departments that are involved in all course planning and development. The policies are in place in this technology plan. All of the policies are clearly written and easy to interpret. The policies, are attached to the appendix of the technology plan.
