d. A list of clear goals and a specific implementation plan to:
1) Use technology to improve teaching and learning by supporting the district's curricular goals
and academic content standards
(2) Delineate how and when students will acquire technological and information literacy skills
needed to succeed in the classroom and the workplace
(3) Ensure appropriate access for all students
(4) Use technology to make student record keeping and assessment more efficient and supportive
of teachers' efforts to meet individual student academic needs
(5) Use technology to make teachers and administrators more accessible to parents/guardians
The technology implementation goals allows foi stuuents to have appiopiiate access to
technological iesouices available at the school site anu meet the acauemic content
stanuaius. The technology will allow teacheis, stuuents, anu paientsguaiuians to have
moie accessibility in communication anu keeping up with stuuent acauemic piogiess.

Aftei looking into my school uistiict's technology plan, I woulu like to iecommenu moie
specific uetails in all sections of the plan stating the specific goals anu tasks to accomplish
in a timely mannei. I have notice that the uistiict technology plan is veiy bioau anu
geneial so that the technology goals can be easily met. I woulu like to see the uistiict have
a plan on establisheu level of pioficiency in technology by giaue levels.
