National and State Technology Standards

1.    According to my opinion the purpose of the National Education Technology Plan is to show what we are lacking in today's educational system. Today's educational system there is a lot of challenges that are affecting all of us as teachers, parents, and students. We are dealing with children from all different kinds of backgrounds different kinds of life some parents value their child’s education and are involved with they’re everyday life’s and stay in connection with their teacher on day to day basis on their learning. While in the other hand we have parents who only send the children to school because they have to and that's the only meal they might have for that day. This will affect us as teachers because we will not have the resources to help those kids and the challenges they have as far as technology.
2.    The assumptions that some administrators, educators and or students may have about the National Education Technology Plan are how will we be able to accomplish it? Will every student have accesses to all the technology and everything they're saying it will be available in order for the entire student to accomplish and learn from? With this being said all administrator, teachers, students and parents must be willing to work together to see the light of the other tunnel.

          The main assumptions for this plan are as follows:

·      Many of the failings of our education system stem from our failure to engage the hearts and minds of students.
·      What students need to learn and what we know about how they learn have changed, and therefore the learning experiences we provide should change.
·      How we assess learning focuses too much on what has been learned after the fact and not enough on improving learning in the moment.
·      We miss a huge opportunity to improve our entire education system when we gather student-learning data in silos and fail to integrate the information and make it broadly available to decision-makers at all levels of our education system—individual educators, schools, districts, states, and the federal government.

3. The NETP presents a model of learning powered by technology, with goals and recommendations in five essential areas: learning, assessment, teaching, infrastructure, and productivity. The 21st. century competency plans of critical thinking, complex problem solving, collaboration and multimedia communication will provided assistance for the students to achieve by allowing the students to have all these five essentials woven within all the content area making it a lot more easier for the students to score high and achieve goals that are set forth for them.

4. Ohio Educational Technology Program and the National Educational Technology Plan are both align with one another for the purpose of wanting a better education for children and making sure that everyone gets the same education where they’re from rich or poor neighborhood. The main purpose is to close the Achievement Gap. The two are not aligned when it comes to having a set date for all of the OETP to be achieved by. The NETP put all these plans in place but no execution date.

5. Both the Ohio Education Technology program and the National Education Technology Plan have pretty much the same goals, everyone will learn through technology. Where they do not align is that when you give deadline to certain things and you don't have the right people and the right amount of training to educate the students, then datelines will not be met and students will not have the proper education to compete in the global economy. We first have to train the educators and once that is done then we should send them off to educate our children.

6. The challenges that this plan will face are.
·      Not everyone has access to computers.
·      Not everyone is disciplined enough to learn through distance   learning education.
·      Teachers may not have the proper amount of training.

·      Teachers may be overwhelmed with all the amount of training that needs to happen in order for distant learning schooling to happen.
