The State Educational Technology Directors Association
(SETDA) calls on Congressional Leaders to fully restore
the Administration’s proposed elimination of NCLB’s
Title II, Part D – Enhancing Education Through Technology
(EETT) Program. State agencies and schools will eliminate
proven programs that promote the effective use of technology
to utilize the data systems that measure AYP, increase
student achievement in math, science and language arts
with supplemental and online courseware, and provide access
to quality content for rural students & teachers-

The
Maryland Technology Plan
- In 1995, the State of Maryland began implementation of
the Maryland Plan for Technology in Education, a blueprint
for effective utilization of technologies in schools statewide.
The Plan was developed under the leadership of the Maryland
Business Roundtable (MBRT) by key stakeholders throughout
Maryland that represented not only the educational community
but the public and private sectors as well. The Plan serves
as the foundation for development and funding of educational
technology programs on both the State and local levels.
- In 1997, the U.S. Department of Education approved the
Maryland Plan, but also made suggestions which prompted
the State to reexamine the Plan in light of new data and
national goals. The Plan was revised and presented to the
Maryland State Board of Education in 1998 for adoption.
In keeping pace with the rapid changes in technology and
technology education, the Plan has undergone yet another
revision and was accepted by the Maryland State Board of
Education on March 26, 2002.

Maryland
Business Roundtable for Education: Where
Do We Stand in 2002? A Progress Report on Technology Resources
in Maryland Schools
- Since 1995, Maryland has conducted an inventory of technology
resources in Maryland public schools as part of the State
Plan for Technology in Education. These statewide inventories,
which are completed annually by each school, have measured
progress toward specified targets in key areas, such as
access to equipment and networks, availability of technical
support, level of teacher knowledge and skills, and use
of technology.
- The Technology Inventory was conducted for the first time
electronically in late 1999, allowing for more timely review
and release of the data. MBRT is pleased to release to the
public, through this report, comprehensive data, including
statewide summaries, local school system summaries and individual
school results. An important addition in this report is
the correlation of the technology inventory data with the
state database of student enrollment in the Free and Reduced
Meals Program (FARMs), allowing an assessment of the extent
of Maryland's digital divide.
-
Minority
Achievement in Maryland
- These web pages contain information related to minority
achievement and education that is multicultural in Maryland.
This information is intended to assist educators and the
public in efforts to increase academic achievement among
minority students as well as to enhance understanding and
appreciation of diversity among educational staff and students.
-
Digital
Divide in Maryland
- The extent of Maryland's digital divide was analyzed with
respect to the level of technology infrastructure present
in Maryland Schools.
