EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document will present an information blueprint of major recommendations,
implementation strategies, and financial resources to attain Detroit’s
education reform goals with state-of-the-art education use. A strategic plan
for education technology goes far beyond the actual purchase of appropriate
resources, including curriculum improvement, professional development, policy,
and procedures as well as other factors related to successful implementation
of information technologies.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Assessment Process: Assessment Process: This plan is based on
information that was acquired from Teachers, Students, and Staff here at
Detroit ISD. While writing this plan, we focused on surveys that were passed
out to teachers, students and administrators during the 2006-2007 school year.
We have aligned the plan with the needs of our district and community. This
plan is the Technology blueprint for Detroit ISD.

development, and technical support. Findings from this needs analysis are as
follows.
I. Elementary Campus

We want the student and teachers alike to give profiles and inputs,
and information to be put on the Districts Web page, so the local community
can keep up and know more about their school and educators. The fast growth of
technology is upon us, and that means everyone will need to be trained and be
more efficient at their job. We would like to open our doors to the community
and let them see what their tax dollars are buying for their children, and how
efficient they our schools are becoming. Setting up a class in a computer lab,
opening it to the teachers, students, and the community on basic computer
skills will bring the students to a higher lever, the teachers more confident
while working on
