Summarize the relevant research and describe how it supports the plan's
curricular and professional development goals.
● We have worked on the Technology Plan as our school district and included
all parties that are included in this scenario. We gathered a committee who
leads the plan but we also get input from other stakeholders. Our major role is
to have a technology plan that would allow all stakeholders use technology
effectively. We aim to have this plan as flexible as possible due to
technology’s ever-changing nature.
● Citation: Wells, Christopher W.(2010), Smarter Clicking: School Technology Policies
That Work!
Author mentions that it’s everybody’s responsibility to be a part of technology
plan and the application of it. Regardless of who you are, principal, teacher,
parent or student, you are expected to be comfortably using the technology.

● This research paper clearly shows that collaboration is necessary.

● We have collected some technology plans from the schools that have been more
experienced that us and we also visited other schools in the area to note down best
practices to utilize in the future.

CURRICULUM COMPONENT CRITERIA.

technology to improve teaching and learning. Describe how these goals align to
the LEA's curricular goals that are supported by other plans. Describe how the
