EETT FEATURED STRAND
In California, close to $30 million in funding to support Educational Technology each year is made possible through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 as part of an effort called Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT). Under the provisions of EETT, the funds are to be used to improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in schools. Funds are distributed through formula and competitive grants. The sessions in this strand are designed to help schools and districts to better plan for and implement EETT projects.
