Two University of Michigan professors will hold a conversation on a new National Educational Technology Plan Wednesday.

Dan Atkins from the school of information and Barry Fishman from the school of education are both members of the technical work group putting together the plan. The plan aims to assemble goals to shape state and local school technology plans.

The purpose Wednesday's meeting, which will run from 4-6 p.m., is to gather input from various members of the public about the plan.

Local school officials, students training to be teachers and other interested parties are expected to attend. The event is open to the public.

It will be held at two different locations in Ann Arbor: The Atkins conference room at SI North, 1075 Beal Ave. on North Campus and the Tribute Room in the School of Education, 610 E. University.
