  • It is imperative that this happens with the wholehearted support of School District Leadership! - edtechguru on 2008-11-24
  • along with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin.Today, no group is embracing new technologies more than our young people. More than 8 out of 10 teenagers, including my own daughters, report having helped a struggling adult to do something online that the adult could not do for him or herself.

  • we identified five key areas where federal, state, and local governments can better collaborate:


    1. Online Learning and Virtual Schools,

    2. Transforming Data into Knowledge and Action,

    3. Broadband Connectivity,

    4. Research Efficacy and Impact, and

    5. School Leadership and Professional Preparation.
