Tech-Savvy Teachers: Apply Within

Teachers Network, a New York City-based nonprofit education organization with an international scope, is seeking applications for membership in a new initiative, the Teachnet Institute.

From the Teachnet Institute page:

Teachnet, a professional development program for K-12 public school educators, 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.

The Teachnet Institute will be an influential group of 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. The Teachnet Institute welcomes participation from teachers who are excited by using technology in the classroom, want to extend their skills, and network with other educators to build on their knowledge. We are offering stipends for most aspects of participation in the program.

Go to the Teachnet Institute for more information, and to apply. Application deadline is Nov. 2.
