California Education Technology Blueprint Recommendation #11: Based on the Smarter Balanced field test experience in spring 2014, further identify technology readiness gaps in schools and advocate for funding to ensure schools have the necessary technology and professional development support..

The field test provides schools the opportunity to prepare students for success and serves as a barometer of technology capability, which allows the state and local educational agencies to assess computer availability and server capacity to prepare for the new testing.

Laptops, e-books, and Desktop Computers

To reduce the technology readiness gaps schools and state must advocate for funds to move from traditional curriculums that don't use technology daily or have the adequate funds available to support the school or students.

Our education system at all levels will leverage the power of technol­ ogy to measure what matters and use assessment data for continuous improve­ment. Taken from Empowering Learning A Blueprint for California Education Technology 2014-2017.
