The big news at NECC this year is that a National Educational Technology Plan is being developed by the U.S. Department of Education with support from the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International, a nonprofit research organization (spearheaded by Linda Roberts, past Director of Technology for the USDoE).
The ISTE Leadership Symposium was attended by over 300 leading administrators, teachers, technology coordinators, policymakers, and researchers in our field. Together they contributed to the beginning content of this plan.
