The Oregon Council for Technology in Education is a non-profit grassroots organization of people dedicated to improving both informal and formal education at all educational levels. OTEC's Website is designed to serve Oregon, the United States, and the World. There is no cost to be an OTEC member. The meeting during which OTEC was created was held on 6/20/00. A permanent name (Oregon Technology in Education Council) was selected at the first Board meeting, which was held on 2/2/01. There are a large number of Oregon organizations that have an interest in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. Some make a distinct effort to collaborate with each other and with other educational organizations, while others tend to "do their own thing." One of OTEC's goals is to facilitate collaboration in ways that will improve education in Oregon. Each state in the United States has its own educational system. Oregon has unique requirements in its K-12 Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM) and Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM). It has a Proficiency-based Admissions Standards System (PASS) for college admission. Oregon has its own requirements for licensure of preservice teachers and school administrators. It has its own requirements for Continuing Professional Licensure of educators. ICT can be and should be an important consideration in each of these Oregon education issues. One of OTEC's goals is to address ICT in these and other aspects of formal and informal education in Oregon.

OCEPT provided the impetus for the creation of both OTEC and OSEC (Oregon Science Education Council). These organizations are somewhat patterned after the Oregon Math Education Council (OMEC) that was an outgrowth of a 1971-1976 NSF Systemic Initiative grant for math education in Oregon. Here is a draft of the agenda for the overall set of meetings from the OCEPT point of view: The OCEPT Management Team reviewed the planning for the Feb. joint meetings today, and Elaine Jane Cole will send you the final agenda for our National Visiting Committee sessions when it is complete.
