Educational Technology Initiative

The Vision for K-20 Education initiative is a year old and the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), its sponsor, says that while progress is being made, more is needed.

Educational Technology Vision
What is the vision? It's that by the end of the decade, every K-20 school will use educational technology for six specific purposes: to increase student engagement and achievement; to provide equity and access to new learning opportunities; to document and track student performance; to empower collaborative learning; to maximize teaching and administrative effectiveness; and to build student proficiency in 21st century skills.

SIAA surveyed educators at the first anniversary of announcing its initiative and found that schools are making progress in using technology to improve communication and anytime/anywhere access to learning. More needs to be done to nurture creativity and meet the needs of all students.
