  • Testimony to the US Congress, House of Representatives Joint Hearing on Educational Technology in the 21st Century on 2009-11-13
    • The global
      marketplace and the communications and entertainment industries are driving the
      rapid evolution of high performance computing and communications. Regional,
      national, and global information infrastructures are developing that enhance our
      abilities to sense and act and learn across barriers of distance and time;
      within two decades, the process of building these physical and technical
      infrastructures will be complete. How information is created, delivered, and
      used in business, government and society is swiftly changing. In the future, to
      successfully prepare students as workers and citizens, teachers will incorporate
      into the school curriculum experiences with creating and utilizing new forms of
      expression, such as visual reality. Information infrastructures will provide
      channels for delivering such technology-intensive learning experiences
      just-in-time, anyplace, and on-demand, enabling partnerships for effective K-12
      education among schools, parents, businesses, communities, and the media.
  • Using Rubrics in Middle School on 2009-11-13
    • First, they are powerful tools for both teaching and assessment. Rubrics can
      improve student performance, as well as monitor it, by making teachers'
      expectations clear and by showing students how to meet these expectations
    • A second reason that rubrics are useful is that they help students become more
      thoughtful judges of the quality of their own and others' work. When rubrics are
      used to guide self- and peer-assessment, students become increasingly able to
      spot and solve problems in their own and one another's work.

    • Digital literacy represents a person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a
      digital environment, with “digital” meaning information represented in numeric
      form and primarily for use by a computer. Literacy includes the ability to read
      and interpret media (text, sound, images), to reproduce data and images through
      digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from
      digital environments.

        Taking a look at what is considered acceptable by the media for today's youth to watch and listen to... it would have gotten a much stronger viewer rating 10 years ago.

    • When students shoot and edit a videotape, they learn that all media is a
      manipulation of choices every step of the way."
  • Education on the Go: Mobile Technology Mobilizes Learning Opportunities | Digital Media Buzz on 2009-09-25
    • Teachers and students can share and view documents, presentations, spreadsheets
      and websites from their cell phones.
    • New mobile phone technology is also having a dramatic impact on educating the
      developing nations. According to the World Bank, 85 percent of the mobile phone subscribers in the
      world  are in developing countries. Nokia is the most notable cell phone
      company to master mobile phone education as many of its users are living in
      developing countries with little or no access to other Internet sources
