Why is CoSN asking for your stories?
There is a rising narrative calling for the removal of screens and EdTech from classrooms.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, is holding a hearing to determine how federal law and funding can influence how digital platforms and resources can be used in schools.
As educators, we know that EdTech, used well and paired with strong pedagogy, expands learning.
CoSN is striving to create a national book highlighting the innovations, breakthroughs, and life-changing learning experiences that happen because of thoughtful, intentional EdTech use.
The goal is to tell the stories policymakers, the public, and the media aren’t hearing.
