The National Center for Education Statistics

Internet Strategies for Education Markets: The Heller Report, Dec, 2002

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has created a handbook that suggests a standard set of questions school leaders should ask to assess whether they are using technology effectively. Technology in Schools: Suggestions, Tools and Guidelines for Assessing Technology in Elementary and Secondary Education is the result of more than three years of consensus building by the Technology in Schools Task Force, a group of state education agency managers and school district technology coordinators created by the National Forum on Education Statistics. School leaders can use the 175-page handbook to collect and assess information on how technology is being used in their schools to help with technology planning and decision-making.
