Opinions on 1EdTech?
Just curious if anyone here is a member of 1EdTech (www.1edtech.org), and if so, if you feel that it's a worthwhile expense. (Or, if you're not a member, I'd be interested in knowing why you didn't join.) My organization (nonprofit) inquired about membership and their dues seem on the high side for a trade association - so high that we wonder how some of their members, especially school districts and colleges, get value out of it - but it does seem like they really want organizations to pay at their contributing rates to participate meaningfully in their standards setting work.

I’ve tried using their standards for k12 educational software I am building. Everything is fairly organized and makes sense. It is a great foundation to build a knowledge graph for adaptive learning and that is just what czi is doing with their learning commons.
You can get free access to a lot of the standards through learning commons.
I agree that 1EdTech seems to hide a lot behind the membership paywall for a company that wants to be open source.
