The Boston Public Schools' Learning & Information Network for the Community (LINC III) Technology Plan is a living document that guides the district's use of technology from 2006 to 2009.
Embracing technology as a learning tool is critical to the success of the district's educational goals. Building upon the foundation of the district's two previous technology plans, LINC III supports the district's vision to use technology effectively to ensure that all students meet high standards.
The Technology Plan plan begins with a vision for student learning, a statement of beliefs, and a rationale for creating and continuing to build networked learning environments.
It continues with a detailed explanation of Technology Learning Standards for all students, a description of network and telecommunications services, a description of professional development strategies, benchmarks and timelines for accomplishment of our learning goals, long-term funding strategies, and measures for assessment and evaluation.
