North Carolina's Digital Learning Plan

If you haven't seen this article in eSchoolNews, North Carolina has published a digital learning plan for their state.  

This excerpt from the article should entice you to read the full article as well as review North Carolina's digital learning plan.
Like every state, educators in North Carolina are struggling with complex demands around digital learning.

In the era of personalized learning-meets-BYOD, and with a big push on 21st century skills, districts and education leaders can still feel pretty isolated as they work out where to go next. And conveying their needs to state legislators, who often have the power to regulate funding and set the pace for any statewide digital initiatives, can be yet another challenge.
This plan has the potential to be a road map for other states to educate legislators, educators, parents, and other integral stakeholders key to creating a digital learning plan.
