The occasion was a summit sponsored by ISTE, CoSN, SETDA, and SIIA. In a statement released by the four organizations ISTE CEO Don Knezek said, "We're encouraged by the shared vision for American schools that are more relevant, engaging, and globally competitive. And we'll continue our work with the Administration and Congress to restore adequate federal funding for education technology programs."
