The document discusses three articles about the growing use of technology in education. The articles discuss California governor Schwarzenegger's proposal to transition textbooks to digital formats to save money, the growing use of digital learning resources in UK schools with 20% already being digital, and the rise of iPhones on college campuses but concerns about overreliance on a single platform. While technology integration is supported, questions remain around implementation plans, access for students without internet, impact on class sizes, and ensuring choice of devices.

"The “universal service fund” pays for E-Rate with a 17.9 percent tax on long distance telecommunications. The term may sound odd; “long distance” is an artifact of the past for most Americans. However, international calls over plain old telephone network are still made, mostly by Latin American migrants living in the U.S. The telecommunications levy hits them particularly hard. More affluent households, on the other hand, use Facetime, Skype and other apps that avoid the tax."

Implementing successful ed tech projects don't forget the pedagogyRich McCue
Are new educational technologies more effective in helping students achieve learning objectives than the old technology they replace? How IT professionals implement educational technologies, and how instructors use the technology can mean the difference between no impact on student achievement, and higher grades with more engaged students.
While some educational technology projects aim to lower costs and others to increase access to education, this session will explore the intersection of educational technology and pedagogy (teaching methods). We will look at the relative effectiveness of educational technology implementations as varied as: Digital Textbooks, Clickers, Streaming Video Lectures, Mobile Learning, Virtual Labs, Collaboration Suites, and Learning Management Systems (LMS). Session participants will leave with a better understanding of how to assess the value of educational technology / pedagogy pairings. They will also have a better understanding of what key features make for successful EdTech projects.

The iGeneration - the Future of Education Today! - Are Post Secondary institu...Tom D'Amico
K-12 Districts are transitioning to Digital Learning Environments where digital learning and teaching are prevalent - are post-secondary institutions ready for these digital learners?
Monetizing and Marketing Digital Textbooksdclsocialmedia
One of the most misunderstood concepts about digital textbooks is the cost. Many educational stakeholders mistakenly believe that the paper, printing, and shipping make up the bulk of the cost in producing a textbook, but the real expense is in the large panel of experts at the Ph.D. level and above. These experts work even at the most elementary levels to create the content that goes into a standards-based curriculum.
The majority (71 per cent) of education leaders say technology has helped them to make good decisions. A further 72 per cent, the highest of any sector surveyed, also said that the interaction between professionals and technology will be hugely beneficial for the economy as a whole

2. Menu Articles as they appear on slides Schwarzenegger seeks online revolution in schools The end of textbooks iPhones invade college campuses, but will they replace the student ID ?
3. Schwarzenegger seeks online revolution in schools Schwarzenegger mentions “We expect the first science and math books to bedigital by this fall. If we expand this to more textbooks, schools could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year,
4. Changing the way we Teach and Learn and that’s hundreds of millions of dollars that could be used to hire more teachers and to reduce class sizes.”
5. teachers and to reduceclass sizes.” My questionfor Schwarzenegger would be if we were to go totally digital, could it possibly open up for the opportunity for smallerclass sizes, because the students wouldnot have to attend class on a daily basis ? I like the fact that going digital would save money and an even better idea would be to take the money being saved and increase the teachers salary.Schwarzenegger’s proposal would also require schools to invest more money in technology to access the online material and pay for professional development classes soteachers could effectively use it. Schwarzenegger mentions “We expect the first science and math books to be digital by this fall. If we expand this to more textbooks, schools could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and that’s a hundred millions of dollars that could be used to hire more
6. The end of textbooks ? “In (the UK) even more than in the US, there’s a 25-year history of making learning resources available digitally. I would estimate that 20% of learning resources delivered to primary and secondary schools in the UK are already purely digital. “
7. Unsolved Concern the textbook isn’t about to die a sudden death- especially not in the UK, where many children still do not have access to the Internet at home. Shared Resources
8. The article from the Gulf Times quotes Graham Taylor, director of educational and academic publishing at the Publishers’ Association, in the UK says: “In (the UK) even more than in the US, there’s a 25-year history ofmaking learning resourcesavailable digitally. I would estimate that 20% of learning resources delivered to primary and secondary schools in the UKare already purely digital. Further down in the article I found another very important fact it reads; But the textbook isn’t about to die a sudden death- especially not in theUK, where many children still do not have access to the Internet at home.
9. Different types of Learning different types of accessibility available for students to learn through technology
11. iphones invade college campuses, but will they replace the student ID:The reason I chose the third article is because it gave me some insight on the different types of accessibility available for students to learn through technology, while this article mentions the iphone as one way, there are other options as well, like the home computer, a notebook laptop, or the Blackberry. My concern with this article is for instance a company called Blackboard Inc., has a program called Blackboard’s Learn and is in use in many higher education institutions and some k-12 schools. Blackboard’s director of product management says, “It’s an online education platform whose primary purpose is to manage on line course deliveryfor institutions.” A-ha, but the problem is the schools who support Blackboard Learn’s programs are limited to either using a computer or an iPhone, Ritter is quoted as saying “As to other smart phones , like the Blackberry, Blackboard has no plans to support them . The “market is pretty much scattered” with other smart phones, he adds. As a student will we be forced to buy certain brand nametechnologydepending on the schools learning program?
12. Summery San Francisco Examiner – Schwarzenegger seeks online revolution in schools. BY: JULLIET WILLIAMS GULF TIMES Newspaper – The end of textbooks? By Helen Pidd/London iPhones invade college campuses, but will they replace the student ID I found the above three articles of interest to me because basically they follow along the path of the technology articles we had to read in Module Two. When I wrote my reflection paper for the assignment I had so many other issues or concerns that I found to be mentioned in the above three articles. For instance Schwarzenegger mentions “We expect the first science and math books to be digital by this fall. If we expand this to more textbooks, schools could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and that’s hundreds of millions of dollars that could be used to hire more teachers and to reduce class sizes.” My question for Schwarzenegger would be if we were to go totally digital, could it possibly open up for the opportunity for smaller class sizes, because the students would not have to attend class on a daily basis ?

Blackboard’s director of product management says, “It’s an online education platform whose primary purpose is to manage on line course deliveryfor institutions.” While all three articles are in full support of integrating technology into the classroom, it looks like there are many unanswered questions on the implementation process. Schwarzenegger can be applauded for his efforts and the direction he would like to take California’s education system, but with change there is anxiety, and to ease the anxiety among students, Teachers and Parents lets see the rollout plan, show us how it is going to work.
