"The NETC strategy, simply put is: to make technology work for our students."
Dr. Elvira Bitsoi Largie, Executive Director of the Navajo Education Technology Consortium
In 1997, the Navajo Education Technology Consortium, (NETC) working under a Star Schools Grant, united six higher-education partners with thirteen school districts and ten individual schools to create collaborative technology projects that would increase student achievement. NETC projects have been successful in increasing student achievement by providing year-round, classroom-based professional development support and by creating a repository of standards-based multimedia lessons and teacher resources that are available to teachers and students through an interactive website, known as NETtrain.
