Drafting Your Plan

In keeping with the North Carolina vision of building collaborative partners and leadership, a Media and Technology Advisory Committee (MTAC) provides the optimal medium for creating a system-level technology plan and for implementing a strong educational technology program.

Page 8: 1 Technology Plan Education Technology Implementation and Planning Services November 2007

Drafting (con’t)Planning is most effective when those responsible

for the instructional program are involved in designing, implementing, and making decisions about administrative and educational technology.

Students are more likely to be successful in achieving in-depth learning when the administrative and teaching staff and the community build a collective vision for technology that is connected to teaching and learning.
