Welcome!

Welcome to our technology blog! It's our hope that we will provide interesting information about society, as well as how technology is being used in education. As Lake Orion voters begin to consider the upcoming bond proposal, it's our hope this information, along with some of the commentary will provide something to think about.

The National Technology Plan

The US Department of Education has published a technology plan worth taking a look at. The plan, which is titled "Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology" identifies 5 major components students will need to succeed in the 21st century.  These include:

Learning - A process to meet the needs and interests of students.
Assessment - A process to monitor student achievements, ensuring they are meeting important benchmarks.
Teaching - A process to get teachers the tools
Infrastructure - A process to get schools connected to technology, everywhere.
Productivity - A process to use technology to accelerate student achievement.
