Summarize the plans major curricular and professional development outcomes

that are supported by research.
Nowadays, everyones life is filled with technology, iPads, smartphones, laptops,
Chromebook, kindle, etc. All these equipments with their Internet connection gives us

The National Educational Technology Plan represents 21st century learning powered by
technology in five spheres: learning, assessment, teaching, infrastructure and productivity.
The 21st century learning focuses what and how to teach to the learners according to their
needs and goals.

Describe the connection between the research and the plans goals.

The connection between the research and the plans goals is that the technology makes
possible to more learning resources than the traditional classroom instruction. On-demand
learning is now within reach, supporting learning that is life-long and life-wide (Bransford et
al., 2006).

Describe information gathered from site visits, including best practices.

The NETP provides not only learning but also gaining skills such as critical thinking,
