Welcome! This is a website that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Welcome!This is a featured page

November 2008 - This site was created by the folks in the Office of Educational Technology at the New Hampshire Department of Education. It is a collaborative work space to encourage educators, students (you must be over 13 years of age to post here because of the Wetpaint terms of use rules), parents, business leaders, and citizens of New Hampshire to help us think about the future of learning for K-12 students in our state.

How should K-12 students be taught?

As we approach the year 2009, we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It's hard to imagine life without the Internet, cell phones in our pockets, computers that come in all sizes and with all kinds of features, online courses and online schools, digital check-out counters at grocery stores, Nintendos, Wiis, Xboxes, and digital TVs with cable or satellite service. With all of these things surrounding our students and permeating our everyday lives, it is important to envision how our students should be taught as digital citizens. Using this site, you can share your own ideas about learning and tell us what you think should be our state's main efforts around creating 21st century schools.

How you can contribute:
  1. Use the menu on the left to browse through the site. You will see the contents of the current New Hampshire State Educational Technology Plan, which was originally created and approved in 2002. It is this plan that needs to be updated. We need your help, your best ideas, your concerns, and your suggestions of other great resources.
  2. Use the other tabs across the top of the page to move around this site. You'll notice there is a discussion forum for us to talk through our ideas. If you use other sites like Facebook, MySpace, or a blog, you might want to use the "droplets" to help you follow the activity on this site.
  3. When you feel like you are ready to share your thoughts, you will want to join the site. We are looking for contributors who are thoughtful and respectful, not anonymous users, so it's important for you to join first before you will have the ability to edit pages.
  4. So read on and welcome to the community!
