Advocacy Toolkit

Making the Case for Educational Technology

The 2004 and 2005 ISTE Leadership Symposia at NECC brought together education leaders to create a collection of tools to help make the case for educational technology. The result? The Advocacy Toolkit, a collection of stories, templates, starter kits, and other resources that help you to make the case for educational technology to a variety of audiences.

Resources to Help You Make the Case

Each of us has the capacity to be an advocate for improved teaching and learning with technology. Use the Advocacy Toolkit in five ways:

• find stories you can share with others to illustrate the value of educational technology,
• use guided templates to create your own resources,
• select from starter kits to make a focused argument to a specific audience,
• browse articles by title using the master index, or
• select resources that make the case to specific audience groups:

Building administrators

Corporate community
District administrators
Education associations
