Speak Up is a national initiative of Project Tomorrow (formerly known as NetDay), the nation’s leading education nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that today’s students are well prepared to be tomorrow’s innovators, leaders and engaged citizens of the world. The Speak Up Project has three primary goals:
• To collect & report on what key education stakeholders think about key 21st century education issues such as technology use within learning, science and math instruction and job/career preparation.
• To raise awareness about the importance of including student, educator and parent voices in national and local discussions on these critical issues to our society and economy.
• To stimulate new local conversations and support school & community efforts to improve educational opportunities for all students.

Children ignoring online dangers
Children across Europe are being exposed to online threats but remain apathetic to the risks, according to research by EU Kids Online.
The findings, collated from research published in 21 European countries, suggest that social networking is a large part of the problem.
Our research has found substantial amounts of bullying, harassment and unwanted sexual messages
EU Kids Online believes that social networking sites could do more to advise teenagers about their privacy and ensure that they understand the implications of disclosing personal details.

YouGov poll : 21st Century Pupils Log-on to Learn (Jan2008)
"RM commissioned a YouGov poll into the ways that technology is changing how young people in Britain learn. The poll was conducted online, so there should necessarily be a caution in assuming that the results are representative of all young people, especially since the theme is use of technology."
This year's RM "School Gate Survey" questioned 1,501 11-16 year olds across Britain, and examined their thoughts on the impact of IT on their learning and the value they place on it.

ICT use and familiarity in Australia
An ACER research monograph describes Australian students' access to and use of computers raising serious equity issues in the process.
The monograph complements the 2005 OECD report Are students ready for a technology-rich world?: What PISA studies tell us, which provided a profile of ICT use for the 32 OECD and partner countries that participated in the ICT Literacy option in PISA 2003.
The 2005 OECD report found that Australian students are among the world’s leading users of computers in education both at school and in the home. Specific findings included:

Internet's future in 2020 debated
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5370688.stm
Internet's future in 2020 debated
The internet will be a thriving, low-cost network of billions of devices by 2020, says a major survey of leading technology thinkers.
The Pew report on the future internet surveyed 742 experts in the fields of computing, politics and business.
More than half of respondents had a positive vision of the net's future but 46% had serious reservations.
Almost 60% said that a counter culture of Luddites would emerge, some resorting to violence.
The Pew Internet and American Life report canvassed opinions from the experts on seven broad scenarios about the future internet, based on developments in the technology in recent years.

Information Technology in Education
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind06/c1/c1s4.htm#c1s4l3
Information Technology in Education : A (USA) National Science Foundation report finds that greater access to IT resources in elementary and secondary schools over the last twenty years has been a big plus for disadvantaged students.
The United States has made great progress in introducing and upgrading information technology (IT) in classrooms, school libraries, and computer labs over the past decade.

Computers and Student Learning
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=619101
Computers and Student Learning: Bivariate and Multivariate Evidence on the Availability and Use of Computers at Home and at School
We estimate the relationship between students' educational achievement and the availability and use of computers at home and at school in the international student-level PISA database. Bivariate analyses show a positive correlation between student achievement and the availability of computers both at home and at schools. However, once we control extensively for family background and school characteristics, the relationship gets negative for home computers and insignificant for school computers.
Thus, the mere availability of computers at home seems to distract students from effective learning.

Website Usability for Children
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20020414.html
Our usability study of kids found that they are as easily stumped by confusing websites as adults. Unlike adults, however, kids tend to view ads as content, and click accordingly. They also like colorful designs, but demand simple text and navigation.
To find out how kids really use the Web, we conducted usability studies with 55 children who varied in age from 6 to 12 (first through fifth graders). We tested 39 kids in the United States and 16 in Israel, to broaden the international applicability of our recommendations.
