Title

Future Ready Learning: Reimagining the Role of Technology in Education. 2016 National Education Technology Plan

Abstract/Description

The National Education Technology Plan is the flagship educational technology policy document for the United States. The 2016 Plan, "Future Ready Learning: Reimagining the Role of Technology in Education," articulates a vision of equity, active use, and collaborative leadership to make everywhere, all-the-time learning possible. While acknowledging the continuing need to provide greater equity of access to technology itself, the plan goes further to call upon all involved in American education to ensure equity of access to transformational learning experiences enabled by technology. The principles and examples provided in this document align to the Activities to Support the Effective Use of Technology (Title IV A) of Every Student Succeeds Act as authorized by Congress in December 2015. The following are appended: (1) Future Ready Resources; (2) Acknowledgments; and (3) The Development of the 2016 NETP. Individual sections contain references.
