In order to transform education in America, we must turn ideas into action. The NETP presents five goals that address the key components of this plan—learning, assessment, teaching, infrastructure, and productivity.
Our goal toward learners is to have them gain experiences both in and out of school that prepare them to be active and knowledgeable participants in our globally networked society.
To be able to achieve these goals states should continue to revise and implement standards and learning objectives using technology. States and districts as well should develop and implement learning resources that use technology to embody design principles from the learning sciences. Also need to develop and implement learning resources that exploit the flexibility and power of technology to reach all learners anytime and anywhere. We need to use advances in learning sciences and technology to enhance learning and evaluate new methodologies with the potential to inspire and enable all learners to excel.
Goals geared toward educators will be supported individually and in teams by technology that connects them to data, content, resources, expertise, and learning experiences that enable and inspire more effective teaching for all.
To reach these goals as educators, opportunities will need to be expanded for educators to have access to technology-based content and tools. We will need to level the social networking technologies to create communities of practice that provide learning opportunities for educators. Need to provide all learners with online access to learning opportunities and options especially in places where they are not otherwise available. Also need to have learning experiences powered by technology to increase digital literacy and enable them to create compelling assignments for students that improve learning, assessment, and instructional practices.
