It\u2019s a big deal, and a major source of pride that the work our Hive communities are doing is influencing how the United States thinks about technology and education.<br \/>\nThe National Education Technology Plan \u2014 available in website form <a href=\"http:\/\/tech.ed.gov\/netp\/\">here<\/a>, and as a PDF <a href=\"http:\/\/tech.ed.gov\/files\/2015\/12\/NETP16.pdf\">here<\/a> \u2014 is an educational technology policy document that outlines a vision of equity, active use and collaborative leadership for improving learning. This plan is an update from the previous 2010 NETP. The influential report draws on the findings of educational researchers, classroom teachers, developers and nonprofits.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NETP16.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-14172 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NETP16-252x326.png\" alt=\"NETP16\" width=\"252\" height=\"326\" \/><\/a>The Hive model plays an important role in the section \u201cLeveraging the Power of Networks: Cultivating Connections Between Schools and Community Institutions.\u201d The report notes Hive\u2019s ability to bring together educators, youth, technologists and others for powerful connected learning.<br \/>\n\u201cHive Learning Networks, a project of the Mozilla Foundation, organize and support city-based, peer-to-peer professional development networks and champion connected learning, digital skills, and Web literacy in youth-serving organizations in urban centers around the world,\u201d the report notes.<br \/>\nA report from the <a href=\"http:\/\/hiveresearchlab.org\/\">Hive Research Lab about building connected learning pathways in Hive NYC through brokering future learning opportunities<\/a> is also cited in the Plan, and Hive is included in learning recommendations throughout the report. And that photo on the report\u2019s cover? That\u2019s from a Hive NYC Maker Party at Brooklyn Public Library!<br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t the first time the Hive community has contributed to the conversation on how educator networks can collaborate and build web-enabled solutions for their communities. On Digital Learning Day in March, Hive <a href=\"http:\/\/hivechicago.org\/a-conversation-on-techquity\/\">participated in the Department of Education\u2019s monthly roundtable<\/a> on techquity, or the effort to achieve equity for learners through technology.<br \/>\nThis is a major moment for Hive communities around the world. Our approach to collaborative, community learning is making a major positive difference.
