About the
TeachNet Institute
The TeachNet Institute will be an influential group of New York
educators who will: collaborate with members on technology projects,
solutions, and communications; write and publish technology curricula;
advocate for the use of technology in education; and, come together as a
group for the exchange of innovative ideas. We will also have the
opportunity to hear from leaders in the field of educational technology,
participate in a global TeachNet blog, and explore collaborations with
educators from Teachers Network's affiliates in the U.S. and Europe.
Teachers Network has launched the Institute to create a professional
social network for New York City teachers, combining both online and
face-to-face communication to foster 21st century skills for educators.
Because so many technology educators have been working in isolation,
this Institute will offer opportunities to share ideas, collaborate with
like-minded colleagues, and to keep our skills current and innovative. |
