Overview Through the Kentucky Department of Education, the Office of Education Technology laid out its "2007-2012 Education Technology Master Plan" with the objectives of providing equal access to technology for all teachers and students, enhancing their teaching and learning experiences in Kentucky's classrooms, and to thereby prepare all Kentucky children to be productive and contributing members of a modern workforce. The Master Plan was designed to both replenish an eroding infrastructure and introduce "New, mission-oriented solutions." Nortel was able to deliver the right technology, to help the Kentucky Department of Education map out the right solution and to then help support that solution - all of which has allowed the state to meet its objectives.
