SIGs = SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

NHSTE as an organization recognizes the incredible need to support SIGs in various forms all across the state.  For years we've had a SIG for our Technology Coordinators, in the past few years we've started SIGs for:
Technology Teachers / Integrators
First Class Administrators
FiIRST Lego League
Tech Coordinators

Tech Engineers - listserv
Special Education and Adaptive Technologies - listserv

Each are in different, albeit early stages.  We are looking to expand our range of SIGs.  We see SIGs coming in two categories:
Technology-Related - Tech Teachers/Integrators, Computer Programming Teachers, Technology Coordinators...
Services-Related* - Food Service Directors, Maintenance Directors, World Language Teachers...
*we offer these services to only pre-established state groups/organizations

The basic services we offer to a SIG include:
1.  Use of a listserv
2.  Use of a homepage
3.  Use of a depository to share files.

The advanced services we offer include:
1.  In additon, based on the need of the group, we are willing to host meetings.
2.  Creation of a strand at one of our conference for SIG members.

Presently we offer services at no charge for the first two years to establish the SIG - beyond that point - we seek a small fee to cover the upkeep costs.

If you have questions about SIGs, please contact Sheila Adams,  sadamsrjh@rcn.com
