| Now
more than ever, Washington, D.C. needs to hear what you
have to say. Support for ed tech is in peril at all levels
of government. Important federal programs that fund education
technology, including technology training for teachers,
hardware and software acquisition, and infrastructure development,
stand at the brink of elimination because of limited federal
funds and numerous state budget crises. More importantly,
many policy experts have not yet grasped the power of education
technology to transform learning nor its ability to help
ensure that all students achieve and all teachers are of
high quality. Through the Ed Tech Action Network, you can
tell policymakers in Washington, D.C., and in your state
capitols, that education technology is vital to fulfilling
the mandates
of the No Child Left Behind Act and that ed tech programs
merit federal funding.
The Ed Tech Action Network is designed to provide you
with the tools and training you need to be a powerful advocate
for improved technology learning and teaching at the local,
state, and federal levels. Network members can:
- access a
state-of-the-art grassroots website and online community;
- receive regular federal legislative updates;
- participate in
state network activities;
- attend training and
tutorial sessions; and
- establish effective
communications with legislators and other key decision-makers.
