Technology Survey
The district Technology Steering Committee has begun the process of creating
the Plano ISD 2007-2010 technology plan as required by the federal
government and our state education agency. The committee needs your help in
assessing our current technology uses as well as planning for future needs.

As we did in the 2003 plan, we hope to receive input from you, to get an
accurate appraisal. We will also be gathering information via focus groups as part of the
process.

Please help us in this initial part of the process by sharing these links to
online surveys designed specifically for the particular groups. The survey
takes only a few minutes and the data will be used by the focus groups to
provide recommendations to the steering committee.
