Ready or not, Web 2.0 is becoming an educational tool for the classroom. The most recent Horizon Report 2009 K-12 Edition, published by the New Media Consortium and regarded as the most timely and authoritative source of information on new and emerging technologies available to education, identified collaborative environments and online communication tools—or what is commonly called Web 2.0—as one of the emerging technologies that are affecting K-12 schools today. You can download and read this report free of charge at http://horizon.nmc.org/k12/Main_Page

Thanks to the feedback and input provided by hundreds of practitioners and educational technology advocates (such as yourself) across the country, the plan is coming together nicely. A published draft of the report is planned to be available in late February or early March, but I had the opportunity to attend a webinar today, hosted by iNACOL, that gave us a glimpse into the key themes in the plan.]]>Tue, 26 Jan 10 16:45:00 UThttp://www.ena.com/blog/ena_blog_12160901.aspx“Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world." 
—Joel Barker, Independent Scholar and Futurist.

This is one of my favorite quotes, and—make no mistake about it—creating a vision for systemic technology integration is hard work but certainly not half as hard as actually implementing it! As technology leaders you know that all too well. However, this is the time of year when hope springs eternal and E-Rate applications urge you to take a long, hard look at that technology plan until the concept of vision comes back into focus. ]]>Wed, 16 Dec 09 16:15:00 UThttp://www.ena.com/blog/ena_blog_11100902.aspxTue, 10 Nov 09 21:00:00 UThttp://www.ena.com/blog/ena_blog_11020901.aspx

After all these years, have we failed to keep the momentum alive? Or have we truly succeeded in integrating technology into the mainstream? I would like to think we have succeeded and suggest we take a new approach to our technology-funding advocacy efforts.]]>Fri, 18 Sep 09 15:15:00 UThttp://www.ena.com/blog/ena_blog_09080902.aspxclick here.]]>Tue, 08 Sep 09 20:00:00 UThttp://www.ena.com/blog/ena_blog_09030902.aspxGet Connected Community Journal, I wrote an article about the USDOE’s work to develop a new National Technology Plan. This is encouraging news as it will potentially result in much-needed vision and leadership for educational technology. From my perspective, I believe the lack of vision has a direct correlation to the lack of educational technology funding. Hopefully, the creation of a new plan will focus more attention on much-needed funding.]]>Thu, 03 Sep 09 21:45:00 UT
