The National Education Technology Plan is the flagship educational technology policy document for the United
States. The 2016 Plan, Future Ready Learning: Reimagining the Role of Technology in Education, articulates a
vision of equity, active use, and collaborative leadership to make everywhere, all-the-time learning
possible.
While acknowledging the continuing need to provide greater equity of access to technology itself, the plan
goes further to call upon all involved in American education to ensure equity of access to transformational
learning experiences enabled by technology. The principles and examples provided in this document align to
the
Innovative Technology Expands Children's Horizons (ITECH) program as authorized by Congress in December 2015
through the Every Child Achieves Act.
