Hi All,

Here's a question for all of you in time for Election Day:

What do you think are the most important milestones in our field?
Considering
all that has been said and done (and applied for but failed to submit the
appropriate
number of copies to the appropriate addresses), which programs or projects
have done the most to advance educational technology?  I suppose I would
define a milestone as something that advanced either our theoretical
understanding
or our practice in some important way, by failing or succeeding dramatically
enough
to be recognized.

Just to get the ball rolling, I will nominate Apple Classroom of Tomorrow
(ACOT).  At
a time when computers in the classroom were scarce and most research focused
on
individual effects, ACOT tried to jump forward in time to "computer
saturation" in the
classroom and focused on institutional effects such as policy change and
teacher
professionalization.

So tell us your nominee, ancient or modern.  Post to the list or email it to
me.
I will collate the results and post them.

Jim
