NCTE but not the English One...
Today I was looking up NCTE, National Council of Teachers of English, when I came across another NCTE. This NCTE is The National Centre for Technology in Education. So looked at this website to see what its about. This site is from Dublin City Unversity in Ireland, but the campus is interested in integrating technology into the classroom. According to this site, the objective of educators is to promote ICT (information and communications technology). This was set up so teachers and leanres could become more familiar with current technology anf integrate it into their classrooms. Take a look at the website http://www.ncte.ie/AbouttheNCTE/ICTPolicy/. This just shows that countries all over the world are seeing the benfits of technology in the classroome

Bridget,
When I was in Ireland this past summer, I learned that the country is very progressive in regards to technology. In fact, if I remember correctly, they are very much in the thick of internet technology and are someone that we can expect to hear more from in the future.
