The document discusses Texas' Long Range Plan for Technology from 2006-2020. It outlines the plan's goals for teaching/learning, educator preparation, leadership/support, and infrastructure. Schools measure progress in these areas using the Texas School Technology and Readiness Chart, which evaluates 6 key areas in each category. The summary provides an example analysis showing Denison High School's ratings over three years for each category. It concludes by questioning how Texas schools will achieve the plan's target technology level by 2020.
