Here's a professional organization that I want to follow. The organization is known as ITSE or the International Society for Technology in Education. ISTE "...is the trusted source for professional development, knowledge generation, advocacy, and leadership for innovation." They are nonprofit membership organization. The organization serves to improve teaching, learning, and school leadership by advancing the effective use of technology in PK–12 and teacher education. They also have a conference that I may be interested in attending. It is known as NECC.

Some things to look for on the exam:
  • Learning sciences
  • Human performance technology
  • Learning theories (constructivism, behaviorism, cognitivism)
  • Ven diagram showing areas of overlap between learning sciences, HPT (uses training as one of the tools in its toolset and considers hiring, physical location), and instructional design
