| Summary: | This plan plots the course for meeting educational needs in Texas through such technologies as computer-based systems, devices for storage and retrieval of massive amounts of information, telecommunications for audio, video, and information sharing, and other electronic media devised by the year 2000 that can help meet the instructional and productivity needs of public education. First, the economic status of the state is outlined, a rationale for the incorporation of technology into the schools is given, and the potential benefits of technology and its expected impact on teaching, learning, curriculum, management, and facilities are reviewed. Objectives and requirements are presented in tabular form for student workstations, teacher workstation modules, administrator workstations, open-access learning centers, and telecommunications centers. An action plan for technology integration is then described which focuses on the priority areas of classroom instruction, instructional management, distance learning, and communications. Implementation of the plan is discussed in terms of hardware procurement and purchase, courseware adoption and provision, training and certification of teachers, instructional delivery systems, and research and development. Calendars are also provided for three phases of implementation--1988-89 through 1991-92; 1992-93 through 1995-96; and 1996-97 through 1999-2000. Budget requests to the state legislature for incorporating technology into public education complete the main body of the report. A four-page reference list is included. (GL) |
