I know that this is out of context for this particular group and for that I do apologize. I am the technology coordinator for a small school in Montana. We are currently without a technology or computer club and it has fallen on my shoulders to get something started. My question is this. Does anyone know of any national clubs (grade 9-12) that fall under the category of technology or computers. I would like to align our school with an established organization or club. I know that there are national business clubs, national home makers clubs, national agriculture clubs, national industrial arts clubs, but have not heard of any national tech or computer clubs. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give my and I again apologize for posting this "off topic" post in this group.

Only thing I can think of nationaly is the Association for Computing Machinery. They have a website at www.acm.org.

You might want to poke around some of the users groups in your area to, too see if they're afiliated with someone.

Good luck to you

Thank you for the suggestion. They only have college and university chapters.

I am also a Technology Coordinator at a High School in New Hampshire. I have asked our District wide Technology Integration Facilitator and she had mentioned in checking with http://www.iste.org/. I?m not sure if you have looked at that site but she thinks that site can help you. Also, she mentioned on maybe asking them if they know of any national clubs. She?s going to email if she hears of anything. I will try to pass it on to you when she does get something to me. Please feel free to contact me through email if you would like. Hope all goes well.

I called and emailed this organization. They knew of several college clubs, but nothing at the HS level. I would like to stay in contact on this and try to get something started on a grass roots level. If we get enough people and resources together, we might be able to start something worthwhile. Thanks again

Thanks for the suggestion. At this time they do not offer anything at the K-12 level.
