The International Society for Technology in Education has recently published their "priority list" for 2011. This group, which represents countries, individuals, and corporations with a mission of "advancing excellence in learning and teaching through innovative and effective uses of technology."
This year, their goals include:
1. Dedicated Ed. Tech Funding leads to student success:
While policymakers have set aside funds for school technology, this money has often been diverted for other uses. Ensuring that the technology budget is used for technology is a major initiative this group plans to take on.
2. Technology in education remains the backbone of school improvement:
This group will continue to advocate for education technology as the backbone to state and federal initiatives.
3. Broadband for all is a national priority:
Closing the digital divide by ensuring access to the internet for all students is vital to our national interest.
In addition to writing about their goals for the year, they also state that "education technology is the strongest investment policymakers can make in our classrooms."
