Education Week’s special issue “Technology Counts 2005” is now available. I have not spent enough time yet to offer many comments. However, each issue of Technology Counts has had a theme. The theme of this issue, “Electronic transfer: Moving technology dollars in new directions”, is telling. One section is entitled “NCLB focuses on data tools.”
Anyway, for a start, you might consider the section describing state support for technology. The “abstract” – As states struggle with budget deficits, they try a mix of funding approaches to pay for educational technology.
