If you plan to attend the Technology + Learning conference in Seattle, join us for the Consortium for School Networking CTO Forum.
Leveraging Banned Technologies To Create Ubiquitous Learning Environments
Anything, anyplace, anywhere access is becoming the norm. Yet, how should schools deal with the inevitable ubiquitous access by students? Can we continue to deny students and facility the ability to use their devices on the school network? Do district chief technology officers (CTOs) need to re-think policies that prohibit certain technologies from the school campus? Join in this thought-provoking CTO Forum, cosponsored by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and NSBAs Technology Leadership Network.
Register to attend.

Project Tomorrow just announced the release of a report I wrote with their staff using data from the Speak Up Administrators survey of 2007. Leadership in the 21st Century: The New Visionary Administrator will be released at the NSBA Technology + Learning Conference in Seattle, WA, at a breakfast on Wednesday, October 29 at 7:30am. In addition to comparing administrator views on technology to the views of students, the report includes interviews of principals, tech managers and district administrators from 8 school districts. We found some very interesting ways that “tech visionary” leaders are deploying technology within their organizations to help students develop 21st century skills. I’ll share more when the report goes public! Register for the breakfast at T+L.
