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.

Technology Needs:
A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing teacher/student surveys, interviews, focus group sessions, inventories and the Texas Campus STaR Chart was conducted to analyze the current status of technology in the district and determine future needs. Items analyzed included: infrastructure, hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources, staff development, and technical support. Findings from this needs analysis are as follows.
I. Elementary Campus
A. Computer Lab
1. Install new typing software in the Lab.

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
