Digital Edge
Igniting Conversation, Imagination & Improvement in Education
Teamed together with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), Apple Computer, and AT&T, NBPTS and NBCTs embarked on the Digital Edge, a project designed to promote accomplished teaching through the use of technology.
The Digital Edge Learning Interchange is an online library featuring National Board Certified Teachers in exhibits of exemplary teaching. Each exhibit includes an introduction, lesson plan, video clips, student work samples, assessment tools, resources, research and teacher reflection.
