They want you to share information about technology tools, exemplary research, and online technology success in the categories of productivity, teaching, assessment and learning.

A draft plan is expected in early 2010. A team of experts is looking for insights from people who actually use technology to teach (that’s you!) to help them understand how to improve education through the innovative use of technology that can be used in and out of school… all day, every day. You all have important stories and information to share.
