Texas Long Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020: Teaching and Learning
Because the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology is targeted at educating everyone involved in the educational system in Texas I chose one of the most important areas, Teaching and Learning. The teaching and learning strategy consists of three entities; 1.The Learner, 2.The Educator, and 3. The Leader. All three play a critical part in carrying out the teaching and learning strategy in the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology. All three classifications of participants have certain objectives and responsibilities that will be implemented effectively throughout the state by the year 2020. The overall targeted goal is for these three groups to become more technological advanced and aware. This is an awareness that spreads slowly. The know how and technological information learned by one member of the participating class will infiltrate the community slowly. This in turn will change society as a whole. Technology and its features will become more common than it is today. New concepts such as email conferencing, and personal barcodes,etc. will be more readily accepted with a society awaiting its arrival. Unsought-of of concepts will invade our homes, cars, and work places and even today’s advanced concepts will be outdated. It is important that the learner, educator, and leader have the skills to process future concepts. This will ensure a more globalized society.
In essence the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology is a blue print for a successful existence when the old traditional way that past generations have carried on has diminished and all that is left is "new".

I agree that the infiltration of technology awareness is very important to the vitality of a community.If we want our students to be competitive globally, as educators we need to advance our skills in technology so that we can infiltrate that knowledge seamlessly within our instruction. Many of our students can not afford the technology available in our classrooms, and we would be doing a disservice not to expose them to these advancements.
