Even though we specialize in American ed tech, we know that the world is increasingly interconnected. To give us the best possible view of the ed tech world, we need to keep in touch with our counterparts abroad and understand how other countries are pursuing 21st century learning.

We're adding one more celebration to our holiday line-up: a celebration of E-rate reform! Today, the FCC took a major step forward when it approved a historic $1.5 billion increase to the E-rate program. We've been working towards E-rate reform for over a year, joined by hundreds of our members.

CoSN’s Certified Education Technology Leader (CETL) program is designed to guarantee that you’ve mastered the knowledge and skills you need to give your district a 21^st century learning environment. We know all of our members are capable of earning the CETL, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy process.  But never fear – we can help make it easier for you. One of the most important things you can do is consider starting or joining a study group.

E-rate reform has been a hot issue in ed tech for the past year, but all the conversations swirling around it can confuse what you really need to know. This summer, the FCC took the next step in E-rate reform, approving important changes to the program. The changes mostly concern: closing the Wi-Fi gap, maximizing E-rate spending, and making the E-rate administration and application processes more efficient.
