| About Us
Welcome to the Ed Tech Action Network,
your direct line to Washington.
Now more than ever, Washington 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, 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:
