Evaluating Technology Plans

One of the major tasks I have is evaluating the technology plan of a large school district in Mississippi. This district has 17 schools, 500 teachers, and 7500 students. It has been a large undertaking to properly evaluate the state of technology in the district as it pertains to the district's technology plan. Think it sounds too deeply embedded in programmatic, research jargon??? Try having to lay hands on every piece of technology as it pertains to the instructional process in the district. Why? In order to ascertain the accessibility of technology to students you have to evaluate each piece objectively. Here is a good resource that explains a general overview of the evaluative process.
