  ISTE Statement on NETP, Broadband Plan, ESEA Blueprint

  Posted: March 25th, 2010, 12:00am EDT

  In recent weeks, the Obama Administration has released several plans, policies, and ideas for continuing its efforts to provide a world-class education to all of our nation's students. Collectively, the ESEA Reauthorization Blueprint, the National Broadband Plan, and the National Education Technology Plan identify technology as a key component of a 21st century education. Despite this rhetorical support, the President's FY2011 budget recommends eliminating direct funding and support for education technology by zeroing out the EETT program. "Rhetoric isn't enough to move a grand plan forward," says ISTE CEO Don Knezek. "Anything short of a dedicated commitment to education technology is potentially destructive to our schools, our classrooms, and our students."
