All schools and school systems need robust plans for the acquisition and integration of technologies to support teaching and learning. More importantly, all schools need to know where they are going with technologies that support Teaching and Learning and how to get there.
3rd Learning partners have been involved with more than 100 school technology planning initiatives ranging from work with individual schools to directing state education department planning efforts. Design elements typically include:
- review and design of network infrastructure
- distribution and placement schemes for technology resources
- design of media centers and labs
- design of state-of-the-art learning networks
- design and implementation of professional development programs to support teachers and administrators in the use of technologies
