NETS at ALA Midwinter

Goodness. The event described below feels a little like the Pope attending Christmas Eve services at the Lutheran Church. But I'm glad it's happening. AASL and ISTE need work together more often. Like I've said again and again and again.

Kudos to both ALA/AASL and ISTE for making this happen!

And thanks for David Barr for the head's up on this event.

Bring your own laptop to this interactive, collaborative session to refresh the NETS for Teachers! Register in advance at www.iste.org/nets-refresh <http://www.iste.org/nets-refresh> .  If you're not attending  ALA Mid-Winter, you can still lend your voice to the NETS•T Refresh!  Visit www.iste.org/nets-survey <http://www.iste.org/nets-survey>  to give us your feedback!

The NETS•T were originally released in 2000.  Now, we are seeking input and feedback from educators, thought leaders, and the private sector on the NETS•T so they reflect the demands and needs of Digital Age learners.  

The next generation of NETS•S, released in June 2007, raised the bar high to achieve greater technology-integrated learning.  We want your help to do the same with the teacher standards, performance profiles, and essential conditions.
