Subject: Questions about educational technology (fwd)

The Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education 
is drafting a National Long-Range Plan for Educational Technology that the
Secretary will present to Congress in September. They would like to get
parents' input and opinions about technology and education; so they've 
asked that we post some questions to this discussion list. 

We'll address the following questions, which I'll post one at a time for
discussion.

1. What is the role of technology in schools?
2. How important is training teachers and administrators to use technology?
3. What is worth doing once a school is well-equipped with technology?
4. How should the issue of equity be addressed?
5. What needs to be done to make effective use of technology for learning? 
6. How do we pay for the technology and training?
7. What should the Dept. of Education say in the National Plan?

Please join in the discussion by subscribing to the CoSN Parents List.
Send e-mail to listproc@cosn.org with the message 
  subscribe parents <your first and last name>

Encourage other parents you know to subscribe to the list and share their
thoughts as well. Let's get a good discussion going!! 

This discussion will begin on Monday, June 5 and continue until June 20 
at which time a summary will be prepared and sent to the U.S. Department
of Education. Your opinions will help the Department formulate the 
National Plan. So please use this opportunity to make your opinions known!
It is important for parents to have a voice in the important decisions 
being made about educational technology.

Sincerely,
Carol Hyatt and Dianne Rothenberg
