As the responsibility for allocating resources for technology shifts from federal administrators to state and local education agencies, state and local policymakers face greater accountability for making fiscally and educationally sound decisions. North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (NCREL), the research and development arm of Learning Point Associates, is committed to assisting state and local education agencies with under-standing the many issues related to developing and implementing technology programs. This policy study presents findings from an analysis of the educational technology policies of the seven states in the North Central region: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The analysis was conducted through the lens of the State Policy Framework for Assessing Educational Technology Implementation, developed by the author (Dede, 2002b). This framework delineates a menu of ways in which state policies can enhance educational technology usage to improve student learning and standards-based educational reform.
