Back-to-school doesn't just mean resetting classrooms—it means resetting our technology, too.
Before students arrive, take a few minutes to:
• Clean up your desktop and bookmarks
• Archive last year's files and classes
• Organize your Google Drive or Microsoft One Drive
• Check accessibility settings and captions
• Test your classroom tech and favorite tools
• Remove apps and extensions you no longer use
A small tech reset now can save hours of frustration later and help you start the school year focused on learning instead of troubleshooting.
What's one thing that's always on your back-to-school tech checklist?

🍎 Welcome back to school, NETA members!

As classrooms come alive again, we’re excited for another year of connection, creativity, and innovation. Thank you for all you do to inspire students, support colleagues, and use technology to make learning more meaningful.

Here’s to fresh ideas, new opportunities, and an amazing school year ahead! 💡💻

Mark your calendars! Don't miss this opportunity! Schedule these dates now! ~

Happy National AI Appreciation Day! 🤖✨

Today is a great reminder to celebrate the ways AI can support educators, from sparking ideas and saving time to helping create more personalized learning experiences for students.

💡 What a difference three days can make!

The NETA Board will wrap up our board retreat today, featuring one day of deep strategic planning followed by two days of planning for the upcoming year. We are officially energized, aligned, and incredibly excited to support our Nebraska schools this school year.
