Ed Tech Action Survey

President Obama’s proposed budget for FY2011 eliminates funding for the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program, the only direct federal educational technology funding resource. To save this important program, we must let the Administration and Congress know how important education technology is for our schools and students.
