How will ICT change the future of education? http://bit.ly/6lm8kc How will ICT change the future of education?
Educators from Malaysia, Australia and India foresee a future in which digital books, hybrid mobile computers and touch-screen writing tablets will replace the text book, chalk and blackboard, according to a series of interviews in the FutureGov magazine on how technology will change the future of education.
All Things Digital http://allthingsd.com/ All Things Digital ... a Web site devoted to news, analysis and opinion on technology, the Internet and media. But it is different from other sites in this space.
It is a fusion of different media styles, different topics, different formats and different sources.
Because the site is wholly owned by Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, we aim to adhere to the journalistic standards of the best of the mainstream media. But, because it is run autonomously as a small online start-up, we aim to exhibit the fresh thinking and nimbleness of the best of the new media.
We want to be first, and sassy, but also well sourced and accurate. We will offer lots of opinion and analysis, but plenty of fact as well.

U.S. Schools Behind in Use of Technology (Jan 05) http://tinyurl.com/4d4ry U.S. Schools Behind in Use of Technology
Schools lag behind much of society in using technology, but students are seeing benefits and clamoring for more access to computers, the government says.
Overall, more schools are using technology to offer tutoring, track student performance and increase communication between parents and teachers. At least 15 states provide some form of "virtual schooling," in which young students gain access to individual instruction online.
Yet educators still lack of training and understanding about how computers can be used to help students, said Education Secretary Rod Paige.
