NSDL Planning Meeting - April 21-22, 2011

The National Science Foundation encourages the preservation and value of NSDL's experience and knowledge in teaching and learning via digital technologies, despite agency decisions that have necessitated conclusion of funding to NSDL as a grant-making program within the Education and Human Resources directorate. 

NSDL has convened a small meeting of NSDL community members to discuss and identify key elements and assets of NSDL that bring strong value to the transformation of STEM education, as a fundamental key step in charting and accomplishing a transformation of NSDL as a relevant and key organizational participant in the future of STEM education.

The NSDL Planning Meeting takes place Thursday and Friday, April 21-22, at UCAR's Center Green facilities, in Boulder, Colorado. 

This site is an open, central point for reporting, discussion, and dissemination of information related to these discussions. Comments welcome. Stay tuned for more...
