National Education Technology Plan for 2010

The national education technology plan for 2010 sounds great on paper. Too often documents such as these sound to good to be true. These plans are laid out by law makers that have no clue what is involved in school finance. Let me rephrase, they set school finance budgets and then set unattainable goals that are so vague that nothing ever gets accomplished. If schools do begin implementation they do so with hopes of prosperity and raised budgets. Without more money most of the plans are nice ideas at most. These are the idealistic stories that you see every so often if all is right in the world. Too many times, we find that patching the correct holes and doing what is best for the kids is the simplest and easiest way to run an organization with so many facets such as the ISD's. I have to agree with most of the goals of the national education technology plan. Still, these goals fail to account for various factors that hit the school system every few years. Not to mention the political game that is played with the education of the lives of so many children. I have hope that one day a common sense plan that isn't so revolutionary and epic can be put in place and then built upon so that true gains can be made. Little things, beget amazing results.
