You have until July 12th to comment on the national education technology plan which was started at NECC. They want your opinion and comments on the plan - so if you do not comment, you lose the right to complain!

This student has done a marvelous speech on Education and giving choices to student. My favorite quote from Andrew ( a student from New Zealand) -- "A closed book test is simply not a realistic situation in the modern world."

I'm not putting this on my blog as an embedded video because I would love for you to respond on NetGen where all educators are welcome to join in with students to discuss how education should evolve. This is an excellent video, and as you can see with my comments, there are a few points I take up with Andrew -- it is one of those -- you've gotta listen to this student kinda videos. He makes some great points speaking out for his generation.

He says that when he asks his parents to help him and they say "I don't know how to do this" it tells him that it is not something that will be used and thus is unimportant! Hmmm.

This will be held in Washington DC. Of course, any "model" such as this will be controversial (because there are NO magic pills to solve one's ills) - but this would be interesting to listen to. January 28th 5-7 pm

Vinnie Vrotney shares his successes with implementing Web 2.0. Vinnie is a great leader who has a servant's heart and incredible attitude. I'm always inspired when Vinnie is around. What he's seen with changes is what I've seen here - sometimes teachers will test the waters in this way and with a little success - they are willing to put it into their curriculum.

Excellent blog post from Elizabeth Holmes reflecting on the importance (and failures) of American education including some great graphics and photos I hadn't yet seen (but would be great stats for some of you presenters out there.) Nice blog, Elizabeth.

This announcement came in recently:

"The University of Northern Colorado is about to launch the Education Innovation Institute.

University and government officials will detail plans on Sept. 24 for what is being billed as the "leading authority on education policy research and analysis." UNC has been a leader in the field of education since its founding in 1889 as the State Normal School."

I hope that they will blog it, for if they truly want to influence educational innovation, they will share their findings and become part of this amazing grassroots network of educators. Be part of change or be irrelevant.
