About this <strong>Plan</strong><br />

This document is a continuation and update of technology plans developed by <strong><strong>Plan</strong>o</strong><br />

<strong>ISD</strong> and submitted to the state in 1989, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2010.<br />

Many of the recommendations in the earlier documents have been implemented, but<br />

new technologies have also meant that slight changes in direction when compared to<br />

the original plan were inevitable.<br />

This plan follows the format outlined by the Commissioner of Education for the State of<br />

Texas in the Instructions for <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Approval Process for Universal Service<br />

Fund E-Rate Discounts for submission via the Texas e-<strong>Plan</strong> system. The content follows<br />

many of the suggestions published in the State of Texas Long-Range <strong>Plan</strong> for<br />

<strong>Technology</strong>, 2006-2020.<br />

The <strong><strong>Plan</strong>o</strong> <strong>ISD</strong> technology plan is intended to be a living, working document. It will be<br />

reviewed annually by the district technology steering committee and updated as<br />

needed.<br />

Our challenge is to rethink the possibilities this digital age provides to learning for our students<br />

and teachers - to learn, unlearn, and relearn as massive amounts of new information becomes<br />

available to guide our understanding. To rethink how we learn, what we learn, and where and<br />

when we learn.<br />
