Connecticut Commission for Educational Technology
State Educational Technology Plan
The initiatives the Commission has undertaken stem from its five-year State Educational Technology Goals and Plan. They reflect research-based best practices, national and international standards, and the expert guidance of thought leaders from across our state who represent a diversity of constituents. The document includes both broad, long-term goals as well as detailed initiatives already underway. The Commission’s work over time will continue to align with and support the shared goals of our stakeholders while producing deliverables with measurable results in such forms as increased engagement, expanded access to resources, and greater efficiencies.
