The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) is a national organization that provides information resources, professional development, advocacy, and networking opportunities for people working in education technology. CoSN is specifically designed for those interested in expanding their skills as a leader within their school/school district and who wish to connect with others in the education technology field in both the areas of administration and instruction.

CoSN provides an opportunity for states to organize and provide a framework around using the organization’s resources effectively and to build capacity within a state for education technology professionals to connect and learn from each other. Minnesota has received approval from the CoSN Board to establish a Minnesota CoSN Chapter.
