On January 16th, education technology leaders from Riverside and San Bernardino counties convened at Mira Loma Middle School in Jurupa Unified School District for its first meeting of 2007. The agenda focused on emerging trends in education technology.

The California Department of Education (CDE) is collaborating with the California Technology Assistance Project (CTAP) to conduct the 2007 California School Technology Survey. This important data collection helps measure the progress of technology integration in California classrooms, is a requirement for several education technology-funded programs, and is used by the CDE to determine grant eligibility and awards. It is important for your district and schools to accurately complete the 2007 California School Technology Survey within the specified time frame in order to meet the grant requirements.
