Is how do we teach students to determine what is useful and what is useless. And that changes our classroom dramatically. We have to teach those skills and information that they have is not all that is just we need to teach them how to access it, but how do we interpret it, how to use the tools in our classroom to make arguments, to be persuasive, to evaluate. The other piece of the Student Experience is that what technology can do as an enabler or an accelerator of schooling is it can add trans...

As we make a shift to instruction and how we expect this to work, we have spent the past couple years spending a lot of time increasing the bandwidth of our infrastructure, but there are many single points of failure in the network we built. A story that i experienced this year is that we spent a physical therapy amount of money of donor funds to put wireless access to our middle schools. And the Parent Teacher conference in the fall, one of the schools wireless access went down so the school wa...

Year in education. I remember with fondness with my master teacher, taking the mimio and going to the staff office and putting in the mimio graph and smelling the chemicals and running my mimios for my class that day and thinking wow, i hit the big time. Then we got a xerox machine and before you knew it we had a desktop that we could keep grades on and i didnt have to use the slide ruler. Technology is contextual. The technology of that time was appropriate to that time. What i dont want us to ...

Our current state. Mr. Ryans commented that teachers dont have a common place they can go for the curriculum. They dont have a place of materials embedded by the district that aligns to our curricula goals to access videos and documents and other artifacts that are used. Our employee system is over ten years old and it barely supports really the basic transactions of managing an employee. When i was a new hire i had 12 different forms and filled out the exact same information on moegs of those f...

The next thing we need to do is we dont really have a very clear picture of all the devices that are out there, which schools have which devices, which software is on there. So its critical we implement a comprehensive Management System. Our finance department has already started that work to roll out the system for next year and his teams already going to auditing to see whats out there. The other thing i want to do is that pretty much every School District has this history of they get one time...

Were only at 7 percent right now. Devices need to be current and reliable. If theyre more than 4 years old, that the time devices start having issues and become unusable. We need to get one to one device ratio, right now were 1 to [inaudible] device ratio. At the early years prek through 5, we need a mix of tablets and laptops. Then sixth through eighth thats where the shift starts going. Then grades nine through 12 we allow students o bring their own device, however there will be a district fun...

Now. Good morning to you. Im richard lui. Another nsa shocker. The agency has implanted software in 100,000 computers around the world. The New York Times reporting the software allows the u. S. To conduct remote surveillance and create a digital highway for launching cyber attacks. The times says theres no evidence connections have been made inside the u. S. There are two ways the software is implanted. One by gaining access through net works and other by using radio waves. The targets include ...

Sanctuaries to launch suicide and car bomb attacks into baghdad. Theres already some of that going on now. This is precisely the tactic they used against the United States, and so they were pushed out by the american surgery and general petraeus in 2007 and 2008, and i think its likely theyll return to that. Host michael gordon, were you surprised at how fasthis host were you surprised at how fast this seems to have come on or have you been monitoring this for a while . Guest these days even tho...

At the early years prek through 5, we need a mix of tablets and laptops. Then sixth through eighth thats where the shift starts going. Then grades nine through 12 we allow students o bring their own device, however there will be a district funded option that will be equivalent to what the teacher gets as their device. All schools will have high end mobile labs available to them to address the more specific requirements of some of the higher end, particularly our english language lerner software ...

Thank you very much. [applause] are we turned on . Anybody that cannot hear me, say aye. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to the smithsonian institution. I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. Thanks for inviting me. You brought forth probably the most Ubiquitous Technology on the planet right now. It is a technology that is a game changer for technology. To begin with, it is still evolving. It is a platform for all kinds of other technologies that are spawned from it. It is having ...
