28	Recommendations A revised Technology Plan, aligned with State and local master plans, be developed with a focus on the tight and seamless integration of technology tools into existing curriculum to improve student achievement using the technology inventory, the latest research and other data sets as a foundation. High quality and sustained professional development, focused on integrating engaging applications and digital content into the curriculum on a regular basis, be made available to all teachers. High quality applications and digital content that develop higher order, critical thinking and problem solving skills be integrated into regular classroom activities.
29	Recommendations (continued) The digital divide be closed to insure that students in high poverty schools are not left behind in our 21st century information society. Technology programs and the associated funding be integrated into base school budgets, with sufficient funding to maintain and upgrade existing infrastructure, deliver sustained professional development and procure applications and digital content for the classroom.
