About CoSN

The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) is the country’s premier voice for K-12 education leaders who use technology strategically to improve teaching and learning. CoSN provides products and services to support leadership development, advocacy, coalition building, and awareness of emerging technologies.

Our membership includes a unique blend of education and technology leaders, policy makers, and influencers from the public and private sectors. Our target audience includes:

  • Key technology leaders (Chief Technology Officers [CTOs], Chief Information Officers [CIOs], Technology Directors, etc.) from school districts and state education agencies across the county.
  • Technology leaders and influencers who see the accelerated use of technology as a means to improve teaching, learning, and administrative processes in their districts or states.
  • Policy makers interested in technology’s role in helping prepare our children to compete in the 21st Century Knowledge Economy.
  • Private sector leaders, particularly those that market technology-oriented products and services to education, who seek a deeper understanding of the K-12 market and the use of technology to improve learning.

Why Join?

CoSN offers a range of tools and resources for you and your team:

  • Biweekly CoSN Member Bulletin, an eNewsletter that provides timely and relevant information on key issues impacting K-12 school networking.

  • A free copy (and online access) of the CoSN Compendium, an annual publication that compiles a series of monographs exploring timely issues of importance to K-12 technology decision makers.
