Example of the Access Divide: Delaware has been building Media Literacy into their state standards, emphasizing the importance of accessibility, digital infrastructure, digital learning devices, digital health/safety/citizenship, educator support & training. #GoOpen #NETP24

Vanessa: in 2024, NC is on version 3 of our NC Digital Learning Plan. This includes our #OER work, which we launched in 2000. #GoOpen

Vanessa: One of the ways that we have been successful with this has been ongoing, embedded professional learning. We have several cohort models around coaching, school #library media, and #AI.

Gina: Michigan is being very intentional about making a large impact with the divides without making #NETP24 feel like it's "one more thing" for educators to have to tackle.

Gina: We are also collaborating with teacher prep institutions to ensure that we are preparing our current and future teachers to implement #NETP24. #GoOpen

Ji Soo: One goal that we haven't met yet is that teachers are not receiving the support and professional learning that they want and need to implement technology effectively. #edtech #GoOpen #NETP24

Sarah: We were excited to incorporate #UDL as much as possible into the #NETP24. I see an opportunity to connect those portraits of a learner within the NETP to UDL as clear examples of how UDL can be implemented.

Gina: One of the things that really stood out to me was the ways in which #OER was laced into the #NETP24. It might not have been bluntly stated, but it was there. #GoOpen

Vanessa: #NETP24 and #OER overlap in NC, expecially in our professional development work. Our own goal in PD includes statewide roadshows. We want to revamp our OER for our educators to make sure that we're not missing any of our constituents. #GoOpen

Now it's time for YOUR questions for our panel! #GoOpen

Gina: PD should include the time and support that teachers need to build capacity with tools. That can be different for each person. #knowthelonggame #GoOpen #NETP24
