The UAS Educational Technology Program has recently undergone a national program review and has received word that we have been honored with national recognition by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) which is the reviewing organization for the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).  This is great news for our program. As part of our ongoing program assessment, we will use the information from this national review as we continue to improve our program.

The Alaska Society for Technology in Education Conference will be held in Anchorage at the Captain Cook Hotel on February 21-24, 2009.  For more information go to http://www.aste.org.
