Focus: Our economic future is in serious jeopardy without a sound, universal
educational system in place that is geared to making the students of today
into successful, productive citizens in the 21st century.  To meet the
enormous challenges facing today's educational system, businesses and
communities must work together in developing truly innovative solutions.  To
confront the crisis in education, initiatives such as Smart Valley Inc., 21st
Century Education Initiative and San Jose Education Network are popping up
and garnering increasing corporate support because of their forward thinking
plans for producing measurable gain in student achievement.  Come hear
educational and business leaders discuss the various initiatives that have
been designed to revolutionize the classroom by teaching students the
technological skills necessary to be effective members of the workforce
tomorrow.
