Educational Technology: K-12 Planning and Investments in the SREB States.
Jones, Sue
Educational technology planning and investment activities in the 15 states of the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) area are described. Information was gathered through an informal telephone survey, brief state reports, and a recent survey of state contacts. States that currently have educational technology plans locate central authority for educational technology planning in the state department of education, and they are adopting committee structures to perform planning activities. SREB states are using several funding strategies to implement their plans, but appropriation distributions vary from state to state. Most SREB states are planning to use technology to address access and equity problems, and most are planning for the probable influence of the Goals 2000 program on technology use. Some investment parallels exist among the states, namely in the development of statewide electronic networks and distance learning programs. A number of policy issues are apparent throughout the region, particularly with respect to responsibility and school district roles. Thirteen tables present state information. An appendix contains the state survey. (SLD)
