NetDay is a national 501(C) 3, non-profit education technology organization headquartered in Irvine, CA. Our mission is to connect every child to a brighter future by helping educators meet educational goals through the effective use of technology. Through our programs and events, NetDay connects people by creating environments where the magic of learning for all participants - students, teachers, administrators, parents and community members - is enhanced with appropriate technology resources.

Using knowledge gained from hands-on work with community initiatives and employing advanced strategies and web initiatives to promote leapfrog strategies for under-served communities, NetDay connects people, knowledge and initiatives to achieve a greater scale of sustainability and success through direct and indirect modeling of best practices in education technology integration. NetDay programs blend traditional and technology-based tactics and methods to help foster technology enriched learning environments and technology savvy school leaders.

NetDay programs in 2001 include:

• NetDay National School Wiring Days - bi-annual community events designed to support communities and schools as they build connections for every school and every classroom.
• NetDay Digital Divide Initiatives (NetDay Community Initiatives) - community driven projects connecting students and their teachers in under-served communities with the necessary resources to facilitate learning through education technology.
• NetDayCompass.org - an online directory providing K-12 school leaders worldwide with an organized library of quality resources to guide effective decision-making for education technology and to develop leadership capacity.
• NetDay Leadership Summits - national and state conferences that facilitate a national dialogue on how to best promote, develop and nurture technology leadership in our nation's K-12 schools.
