Editor's Notes
- #10 President Obama has said, The future belongs to the nation that best educates its people."
- #12 The first major priority of the office has been to manage the update of the National Education Technology plan. SRI was contracted back in the Spring and as you know Dr. Barbara Means has been leading a technical working group. Dr. Linda Roberts has been a consultant on the project. The process has been both rigorous and inclusive. Technical Working Group of 15 leading researchers and educators Series of events through which input was collected NECC 2009 Leadership Symposium and focus groups Public web site open from September through November at edtechfuture.org to collect ideas and examples from the field.
- #16 The National Education Technology Plan will be available publicly in draft form in early March. It will articulate a transformative agenda on the use of technology for creating the best possible learning environment for this generation of students. It will provide a framework for how technology is critical for addressing the four assurances and create a vision of the opportunities available when technology is intelligently deployed. The Vision: The vision is of a transformed education system offering students and teachers 24/7 access to digital content and powerful tools for communication, collaboration, research, data analysis and for the maintenance of personalized learning records. It promotes permeable boundaries between the many different organizations providing learning experiences and resources in and out of school. The plan will address policy implications such as Internet safety and appropriate privacy safeguards as well as a framework for a modern R&D agenda. More detail: This plan is organized around five themes: Learning - Technology increases the opportunity for learning. (eg. complex math and science concepts come to life through simulations and video, accessibility technologies help students with disabilities and different learning preferences etc.) Teaching - Teachers can engage their students and differentiate learning when students have ubiquitous access to a technology rich environment. Teaching happens in many ways and places and the plan will address the integration of teaching in all parts of a student's life and create the opportunity for an effective teacher(s) for every student. Assessment - A forward-looking assessment system is able to extract information about students’ understanding and learning needs based on what they do during instruction and then summarize that information in a form that supports decision making at the level of the student, the classroom teacher, the school administrator and higher levels of the education system. Combined with a commitment to continuous improvement processes, better assessments could hold the key to dramatically improving education. Infrastructure - All students and teachers will have access to broadband Internet and a digital learning device both in school and out of school. Distribution and storage systems (including cloud computing) and new configurations of learning environments (cognitive tutors, telementors, virtual courses and classrooms, open education resources, and others yet to be invented) will contribute to improved education outcomes , efficiency and cost savings. Productivity - All of this will lead to increased efficiency with the big goal of realizing President Obama’s vision of getting way more students to graduate and go on to postsecondary education.
- #17 The plan starts with learning. The model of 21st century learning described in this plan puts students at the center and empowers them to take control of their learning. The model asks that we change what and how we teach to match what people need to know, how they learn, where and when they will learn, and who needs to learn. It calls for bringing state-of-the art technology into learning in meaningful ways to engage, motivate, and inspire students to achieve.

It calls for bringing state-of-the art technology into learning in meaningful ways to engage, motivate, and inspire students to achieve.
- #19 The sciences, technology, and assessment theory provide a strong foundation for much-needed improvements in assessment. These include new and better ways to measure what matters, diagnose strengths and weaknesses in the course of learning when there is still time to improve student performance, and involve multiple stakeholders in the process of designing, conducting, and using assessment. This plan looks to technology-based assessment to provide data to drive decisions on the basis of what is best for each and every student, and that in aggregate will lead to continuous improvement across our entire education system.

It calls for bringing state-of-the art technology into learning in meaningful ways to engage, motivate, and inspire students to achieve.
- #23 A comprehensive infrastructure for learning that provides every student, educator and level of our education system with the resources they need is necessary to transform our education system. Its essential underlying principle is that infrastructure includes people, processes, learning resources, and policies, and sustainable models for continuous improvement in addition to broadband connectivity, servers, software, management systems, and administration tools. Building such an infrastructure is a far-reaching project that will demand concerted and coordinated effort to achieve.

The model asks that we change what and how we teach to match what people need to know, how they learn, where and when they will learn, and who needs to learn. It calls for bringing state-of-the art technology into learning in meaningful ways to engage, motivate, and inspire students to achieve.
- #25 While investment in education is important to transforming education, tight economic times and basic fiscal responsibility demand that we get more out of each dollar we spend. We must be clear about the learning outcomes we expect from the investments we make. We must leverage technology to plan, manage, monitor, and report spending to provide decision-makers with a reliable, accurate, and complete view of the financial performance of our education system at all levels. Such visibility is essential to our commitment to continuous improvement, and our ability to continually measure and improve the productivity of our education system to meet our goals for educational attainment within the budgets we can afford.

- #30 Last year, McKinsey and Company issued a report called “The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap in America’s Schools.” McKinsey found that the U.S. lags significantly behind other advanced nations in educational performance and is slipping further behind in math, science and literacy. The report offered startling estimates about the economic impact of this slide, stating that if we had been able to close the international achievement gap over the last 25 years, the U.S. GDP in 2008 would have been $1-2 trillion dollars higher – that’s between 9 and 16 percent of GDP. McKinsey stated that our failure to close these gaps has meant "the economic equivalent of a permanent national recession."

- #34 Voiceover: Online instruction pilots have produced similar or better outcomes with more than 2X the course completion rate and half the effort/hours Other points: 70% of school districts consider distance learning important for delivering courses Students at Florida Virtual Schools outscored the state assessment average by more than 15 percentage points
- #35 Voiceover: A: Inadequate speeds and poor infrastructure are common complaints; bandwidth demands continue to rise B: Limited supply of digital content and online learning systems; regulatory barriers; lack of digital literacy skills C: Data is not being used to meet student needs, drive decision-making, or enable research on what works
