Abstract
In 2001, technologies must be readily and widely available, for learners, and also for teachers and administrators. At a minimum, a school of the 21st century should have the following technologies:
1. A computer network that reaches every desk-top and that is linked to local services, the Internet, and the World Wide Web
2. A computer for every child, probably a powerful portable computer with software, that could be transported from classroom to classroom and used at home.
3. An extremely powerful computer with software for every teacher.
4. A connection to the Iowa Communications Network, with plans to quickly link every classroom for video, voice, and data transmission.
5. A sufficient quantity of media equipment for the production of meaningful, authentic artifacts of learning. Devices such as television production equipment, video editing systems, audio laboratories, and scanners should be available for student and teacher use.
6. A plan for the future that includes provisions for systematically updating and replacing outdated technologies with more current systems.
