National Education Technology Plan to be unveiled Friday

Secretary of Education Rod Paige will unveil the third National Education Technology Plan on Friday, Jan. 7th at 3:00 p.m. in Washington, D.C. Development of a new NETP was a requirement of the No Child Left Behind
Act. The unveiling will be webcast live at KidzOnline. According to the NETP Web page:

The Plan will establish a national strategy supporting the effective use of technology to improve student academic achievement and prepare them for the 21st century. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress our nation has made as a result of a decade of increased federal, state, local and private investments in connecting classrooms to the Internet, providing students with computers, and equipping teachers with the skills they need to use technology as an instructional tool.

Will the plan deliver? I will be interested to see how relevant it is to the world I work in every day.
