ISTE NETS Seal of Alignment and Review—Challenges & Opportunities

July 1, 2003 • Seattle, Washington, in conjunction with NECC 2003

ISTE hosted an event at NECC 2003 in Seattle to introduce ISTE 100 members to the ISTE NETS Seal of Alignment and review process. Among those invited to speak were representatives from companies whose products have received the Seal of Alignment, school districts who have used the Seal to make purchasing decisions, and members of the NETS Seal of Alignment review team.

Then listen to the review team discuss some of the challenges they identified in their reviews as well as recommendations they have for development of products that align with NETS.
