About the California Technology Assistance Project
The California Technology Assistance Project (CTAP) is a statewide technical assistance program, funded by the California Department of Education (CDE). Intended to promote the effective use of technology in teaching, learning and school administration, CTAP provides assistance to schools and districts based upon local needs in each of 11 regions in California.
Each region has developed and implemented a three year plan (July 2005—June 2008) to provide technology assistance in four key areas:
- Professional development and learning resources to use technology as a tool to improve teaching and learning.
- Professional development and support for hardware and telecommunications infrastructure design, implementation, and sustainability.
- Professional development and support to use technology as a tool to improve school management, including pupil record-keeping and tracking for pupil instruction and data-driven decision making.
- Funding and Coordination with other Federal, State, and local programs.
CDE encourages schools, districts and county offices of education to contact their regional CTAP staff for assistance integrating technology into their curriculum, using technology to support school management and furthering professional development.
