Week 10: Free Access to Educational Materials

Many states such as New Jersey have created development plans to enhance their technology support within their schools. They see the need for free access for all students and they are taking steps to make that happen in the near future. Many schools have adapted "Technology Action Plans" which outline goals related to technology that the school would like to reach within a given time period. With the ever changing society we live in, many are looking to outside resources for funds to continue their technology programs and to also keep up with advancements in computer-related fields. They are also looking to outside grant programs that allow them to get the funds they need to equip all schools with at least the basic technological tools to meet the standards they have set forth in their plan.
